I have a Seagull Models Superstar and is wanting to put a gas engine on it. It calls for a 1.60ci so I need a conversion chart from nitro to gas?

a 1.6 would be 30-40cc I imagine, but someone else will probably chime in. people usually put 25cc's in 120 size planes

Here is a couple quotes from another web site.

Im running a 26cc gas engine (CRRC PRO). engines brilliant but could do with a little tuning.


Its a great plane and highly recommended, although if you want all out thrill i'd suggest going for an engine larger than a 26cc! but great for sport pilots and (semi) 3D.

I have the same plane with a XYZ 50 in it... It is amazing but if it gets too slow it will tip stall.

The Saito 180 weighs in right at 2 pounds, That weight is going to be hard to match, but the 16 ounces in 9 minutes will be easy to beat.

Try and find out how much nose weight others are running and match an engine to that.
I believe the Saito was turning an 18x6 prop at 9200rpm with 30% nitro.

With a little home work you should have little problem finding a great motor for the super star

Built one of these with a CRRC 45. Fit and balanced easily. Was a real hot rod. Talk about unlimited vertical!!

The DLE 30 looks like a great engine. Very light with good power.
