The BIG engine !
 

I have heard that the engine in these mechanical wood cutting saws is usable with R/C aircrafts ....

people please tell me about it !

I was looking forward to buy a second hand saw and use its engine in a 2 meter plane.
Will it be good ?

RE: The BIG engine !
 

Almost all of these engines in this forum are from wood cutting saws (chain saw). They are good aircraft engines.

Hi
The engine must be in good shape.
Good compresion.
Can you see the chainsaw performing how it cut wood ? If it works well , the engine can be converted.
Brand ? Displacement?
The smaller chainsaws generally start with 30 cc aprox , this is enough for a plane for sport use with 5 or 6 Kg weight.
Put more details on saw and the fine people here can help you.
Remember you can make parts , in the lathe, not complex but you must pay.
If you have no experience in mechanics , the conversion goes difficult , you must have a mechanics of chainsaw repair shop to help you, but at no cost.
With no experience you must learn to work with a carburetor, prop adapter and may be magneto ignition, if no learn , you must pay.
I tell you it to avoid frustration
Others members in the club may help.
Good luck
Jose
