So would this work
Ok so I keep hearing the wonder of Gas and wonder if this would work in a Century Radikal Heli
http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...gnition_1.45PS My largest concern would be how to start it or can you still use a starter equipped with a wand

Re: So would this work
Nope. The Radical is designed/purpose built around the G20ei from Zenoah. The G20 has specific drilled and tapped holes in the rear, in the front, and on the side of the crankcase that are used to mount the engine, fan plate/cooling shroud and also the ignition is relocated. The cooling fan and clutch are made to fit onto the G20's crank nose. And, the length of the engine is also very critical.
On top of that, a 26cc engine (like the G26) is a lot more powerful than the G20, and would need longer blades and a different gear ratio than the Radikal uses, which is designed around the 20cc engine. The angled plug would also cause issues (the cap would hit the side frames). The G20 is a great little engine (I have three now personally) - yes, it will cost you a few hundred more than some Chinese import, but its a one time purchase... AJC
