RE: echo 22.8 cc gas engine
 

Ralphbf, do you know or happen to have a good set of instructions to mix gas/glow. i just need to know like how much of each to mix and what to use. thanks for any info.

RE: echo 22.8 cc gas engine
 

1 part 10/10 glow fuel and 2 parts gasoline is the standard mix.

The lower the compression the more nitro you need.

You can buy quarts of fuel through Tower Hobbies for making small batches.
but the cost is almost as much as a gallon of fuel at the LHS.

Make sure to use hi-test gasoline though

ok i think i am not going to be able to use this engine on my 60 sized p-51. so i am thinking about building a spad but i dont know exactly how big to build it for this engine. any reccomendations?

At least 1000 square inches, 1200 would be better.

I have a clipped wing Cub 1300 sq. inch and a 25cc Toro on it.
It flys good. I streached the nose out 3 inches so it would balance with
no added weight. It would of been 1 1/2 pounds.
