And a 3/8" G10 epoxy board carb rotator block, no cracking like brand"H" :)

Ralph,

It looks like "the other guys" are winning the war. Your website is not available at the moment, even when you take the comma out of the URL.

Let us know when it is ready to visit!

Regards

Craig

Works for me, without the comma of course.

RE: G26 conversion
 

OK, so I took out the comma..
Nothing much there anyway, the address and E Mail work, and the Q&A....
Try the other one, on the bottom..It works..Nothing much there either, but at least I can change the content on that one...:eek:
You win, TKG :)

RE: G26 conversion
 

Mine went out to RC Ignitions today. I will let you know how it comes out.

RE: G26 conversion
 

You will be very happy!

RE: G26 conversion
 

Quality work for sure. I am going to send a G62 in as soon as I pull it.

RE: G26 conversion
 

RTK... when are you coming over to fly in the bean fields with us? I have 2 G62's, a G38 and three G26's all converted by Ralph and I hate them. ;) They cost me too much non flying time answering questions at the field because they just run so dang good, are easy to start and are lighter. :D People just can't believe I'm flying most of my planes with Zenoahs and they operate that well.

Alan- I am going to have to get over there this spring for sure. Say high to Mike for me.

I just put a g26 conversion in a DPM 25% edge. It weighs 13.5 lbs. (most using 40cc+) Although it's not a 3d power house, basic IMAC type flying is good at a little over 1.20 to 1 power/wt. Now if I can just remember how to use my radio to dial in a good set-up.

RE: G26 conversion
 

I have seen some so called conversions but I'm talking about taking off all of the coils and the flywheel to save weight and cutting off the extra steel crank on the back of the engine ...... and installing a magnet and the sinsor with out any machanical stuff on the outside......... you know like the DA and ZDZ engines

there must be a problem with this because I have not seen the G26 done this way

RE: G26 conversion
 

.

RE: G26 conversion
 

so you take the flywheel off and put all the ignition components in the cup mount

RE: G26 conversion
 

Yes

RE: G26 conversion
 

That is what I wanted to know .... that web site does not have a good pic. of the back of the moter....
thanks very much Doug McLaughlin:D

RE: G26 conversion
 

Ralph,

What do you do when the setup cannot utilize the mounting cup? My Hanger 9 Cub uses a flat plate. Can we still do the conversion?

Regards

Craig

RE: G26 conversion
 

The only change on a G23/G26 is a .050 thick plate across the back of the engine, the ignition fits in the space where the flywheel was..Other engines with no space can be converted with a separate box for the ignition..[8D]

RE: G26 conversion
 

cknaack- I don't know if this will help you, but this is how I mounted mine. It would have been flush mounted but I needed about 1 inch more.

RE: G26 conversion
 

RTK,

Your picture says it all............Thanks for the clarification. It looks like a nice clean setup.

Regards

Craig

Got it back this week. Looks great! Can't wait to get my PT-19 put together to try it out.
