does it have enough power for a 1/4 scale cub?

[tim220225]

I don't see why not. I had it on a Fokker DVIII

[fokkerslowflyer]

you still have it? if so are u intrested in sale it? how much?

[tim220225]

I do have it and would be willing to sell it to you. Make me an offer for it. Do you have your own ignition or would you want the one i use?

$100.00 including ignition module.

Did you try running your Honda on the stock mag ignition before the electronic? Was you reason for electronic to reduce weight? As mine is all stock it starts 1st pull of the chord, have you tried starting yours by hand, I imagine it would start easy although your electronic ignition may perform differently to the mag?

[tim220225]

Never intended to run it on a mag, weight was the issue. Someday I will find another plane to put it in that will work well with a Honda.

@tim220225 Gx31 conversion.  exactly how did you do it? (what parts did you take off and what parts did you put on, etc..... I have an old RYobi 4stroke I was thinking of converting.

[tim220225]

I never got to fly the engine. I did run it for several tanks of fuel mounted inverted, upright and on its side. Never an issue.

I see some people do not bolt a prop driver on as per Zenoah, rather they appear to bolt via the flywheel nut somehow. Obviously using electronic ignition negated the need for the flywheel so the prop driver issue may have been easier for you. did you fly it? if so how did it perform in all attitudes, I understand they can run anywhere in a 360 degree rotation but I'm unsure if that is 360 around the crank rotation or in all attitudes.
