right iv got some questions
[sm=tongue.gif]

first off has anyone got anymore info on this engine? what parts are interchangable with other motors?
would a piston fit off another cc of engine?
what are good carbs for this engine? ( i want to run on gas)
where can i get a decent cheap exhaust for it?
what tools do you guys use to put the pistons back in i thought about using a jubilee clip as a piston ring clamp would be too tall!
what kind of planes would this engine suit? (bear in mind im a skint student[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] )
and lastly what kind of speeds would be expected out this engine in a plane roughly?

i have never owned a plane so i dont know too much, i have owned an rc car tho.

thank you.

You may want to use the carb and exhaust you have on the engine for now. Look around on RCU and read and see how to make a test stand and make a prop adapter. Then place a prop on engine and learn how it runs. As you go, just ask more questions and you will get plenty of help. Have you ran the engine at all? Capt,n
