Default RE: RCGF Engines

ORIGINAL: Piston

The fella's are reporting that they are getting around 7700+rpm.
I have not yet experienced a 26cc with a tuned pipe, and I for one am curious what the RCGF26cc would do with that strapped on. Plasticman... wanna talk?? Send me a PM.
Henry,

Since we are talking more real world numbers, how does the 45 do with the 20x10 as listed?

7700rpm with an 18x8 is pretty good. The G26 will swing a Mejzlik 18x6 at 9000rpm with a good muffler and 10,000rpm with a tuned pipe. Considering the difference in prop loads between the Xoar 18x8 and the Mejz 18x6, your 26 is running very close to even with the G-26. Very good territory to be in, all in all. I like the rear carb for a lot of cowled applications, too. Now if you could only offer a rear exhaust option, that would be perfect for a lot of models I like.

Thanks,
Mark
