RC gnitions modified G23
 
I am just about to send my G23 to Ralph to get his electronic ignition added and lightening mods done to it.

I would certaintly appreciate if someone could post a couple pictures of their RC Ingitions modified G23 engine,as I have never seen what the finished product looks like. Thanks.

Only change is the spark coil is mounted behind the cylinder where the source coil was and 2 small rings around the hub near the crankcase.for the sensor and magnet...The carb has a new rotator block, 3/8 thick...The throttle servo connects directly to the carb, no bell crank...There is a small RCA jack in the case under the carb to connect the ignition circuit to the battery.....:D

Don't forget about the new prop shaft!

Mine sure is purdy:D

BTW Ralph, what is the size of the new prop bolt? I need to get some all thread to use so I can put on a spinner nut.

Or you can drill and tap the prop bolt to accept the spinner bolt.

I have a G26 that has been modified by Ralph if that helps any.

Ralph included a tapped prop bolt when he did the convesion. My application needs a threaded shaft for an acorn nut like spinner.

Hey Hank, what plane is it? My Cermark Pitts has the same setup.

Ralph, what is done that allows for the weight reduction of almost a one lb.

Removal of about 1 inch of the rear crank, the mag rotor, the nut, and the source coil...
