25cc Poulan Weedeater Engine converted for RC

[optimist4212]

How do you get it to make that sound? mine just sound like a scooter not a real aircraft motor

[mountain177]

@optimist4212 take the muffler off

[fairyheli2]

put some wheels on it and you've got yourself a unique go cart!

[cooperobriant1]

i have that same i found it in the trash fixed now i mow yards for money

[XxstryaexX1]

it would be funny if a guy got his LAWNMOWER to convert to rc

[MrPoopshoe]

i saw that weedeater on tractor supply i think for like $30 shipped

[NewPyroLabs]

Hey, all, I am trying to mount a pair of 31cc weadeater engines onto a glider i built, but i have no idea what prop size to get! PLEASE HELP

[poodlenuggets]

@NewPyroLabs 16 x 6 pusher

[datzfast]

question, the crankshaft is balanced yes or no, if the crankshaft is balanced why leave the flywheel on? the spinner and propeller work as a flywheel on a regular engine. is the magneto pat of the flywheel?

[Summerride]

The magneto is on the flywheel yes so you cannot remove it

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

@Summerride You're right there parts or you make your own.I've seen it there's probably drawings or instructions for how to somewhere.

[tif900]

sit on and fly ! lmao

[GT03235]

what size plane is this going in?

[Ripboarder16]

Was were the specifications for the propellor. diameter and pitch? thanks

[Summerride]

It is a 16 X 9 that is a bit too much for this engine. 15 X 8 or 15 x 6 would have been better

@Summerride

I used a 14X8 wood pusher prop with a blower engine and it produces way more than enough thrust to sufficiently power a bicycle with me on it and i weigh 120 pounds and i doubt that any rc plane would weigh more than that..

[skaterdude1229]

how is it posible to do that

[danny4wd]

where did you get the prop adapter?

if you make that can you tell me how to make

a adapter.

[Summerride]

I used to work in a place where there was a machine shop , so I asked a guy to make an apadtper for me when he was not su busy. I looked over the internet to find some but with no success. Please tell me if you find a place to order !

[dubspins]

@Summerride you can buy them at almost any gas engine RC plane website

[danny4wd]

where did you get the propeller adapter?

can you show how to make if you make the prop

adapter.. thanks

[boogiemanafricamail]

The flyng chair

[llevalley]

how did you convert the engine for aircraft use. thanks

[Summerride]

Read the Info of the vid. It is quite simple. You need a propeller adapter that you put on the flywheel. The you make some brackets as engine mount and you're good to go !

[Summerride]

Thank's for the tip! I'll try this eventually

[rbturbo9]

Nice...for more power take the stock exhaust

box, drill and weld or braze a piece of piping to increace exhaust flow. Next get a 25$ big bore carb with a velocity stack for a big hp boost. I did these cheap mods on my 25cc homlite and was amazed.
