Travis,
You may already be aware of this, but you may be able to convert this engine to diesel with a little work. Diesel used to be fairly popular fuel in a lot of the older RC airplane engines. There is still a bit of info out there on the airplane forums telling how to build a kit to get the compression just right. Diesel and castor fuel also smells a lot better when running.

That is a thought but this is one of the best running nitro engines I have ever seen. It starts on the first or second pull and it will runn out a whole tank at almost an idle.

Will it pull any weight or is the clutch to small? Never messed with gas R/C stuff
