    Idea.. what airplane's

    I think it would put out the HP but it might not do so well in the weight category though the 420cc engine is a hefty 73lbs stock..

    Idea.. what airplane's

    well the Predator 301 weighs in at 57lbs and the 212 weighs in at 35lbs before you strip them down. still waiting on Aprox HP/RPM numbers from a place for moded engines in Stage one this is just cleaning up exhaust and intake air flow. as stock air cleaner and exhaust eat up 2.5HP on the 212.

    Low budget Ultralight Aircraft

    not to be a dick but you do know they make billet aluminum flyhweels for alot of the popular engines.. in fact any go carting performance parts place worth its salt sells them as the cast flyhweels cannot and should never be spun faster then 3800 RPM.. as they are known to explode

    Question: should the forum add a thread for conversions of industrial engines

    Wouldn't be bad at some point to toss up a sticky with some links about it though.. as there are a few people doing them out there with various engines.
