Battery powered chainsaw

And there are multiple builders of aftermarket batteries for them.

The EGo uses 18650 which is the dominant form factor for high power lithium cells.

Why don't we see desiel airplane engines? Same for chainsaws.

There are diesel piston airplane engines. More popular in Europe than in the US, but they have made some inroads here.

I have a small diesel airplane engine:

All nitro R/C and hobby engines are compression ignition.

Usually. poor spelling and sloppy punctuation is indicative of a person who don't take the time to proof read what they post.

Not to pick nits, but since you’re throwing stones… it would be “doesn’t”, not “don’t”.

Yeah, I thought that was the case. Heck, they all have glow plugs and lack any spark ignition.

But of all the dozen-odd old airplane engines dad bought as a kid in the 1940’s, this is the only one specifically labeled and marketed as “diesel”.

There was a period of building bigger R/C planes using repurposed chainsaw 2-stroke engines. The joy was how a bigger plane was cheaper to fly.

There used to be vendors selling "diesel conversion kits" for the nitro engines. Not sure what they did but the attraction was lower operating costs. So that engine is probably one intended to run off diesel (and premix oil, probably castor oil) rather than the nitro mix sold at hobby stores.

Also, "poor spelling and sloppy punctuation is are indicative..."

I try not to point out another poster's grammatical errors, hoping that they in turn won't point out mine.
Sometimes though one has to make exceptions.

I know I will frequently see my mistakes when I go back to a post like I did with my Stihl AP series battery saws.

Sometimes it is just my fat fingers and other times spell check auto corrects when I hit post...

I'm glad there is an opportunity to make corrections... not always the case with all sites...

Am thankful for the strikeout markup. When I edit for speling spelling or outright rong wrong word I’ll strikeout then correct. Own my mistakes.
