Country of manufacture
Can anyone shed light on where the major rc aircraft gas engines are manufactured? For instance which ones are Chinese, and where is Brillelli made. Some are maybe obvious such as Fuji (Japan?). Desert Air is U.S. - any others?

DA is largly U.S. BME has some parts coming from Taiwan with others from elsewhere. Taurus is majority U.S. with heads from Germany. Brillelli can be either U.S. Echo or Poulan, Europe. RCGF, 3mm, DL, MT/LS Pro, GRPro, and a bunch of others are China. Zenoah can be China or Japan. 3W is largely Germany. Herbrandson is U.S.

Pat, thanks for the info. How do you learn that stuff? It's not always apparent, even on product web sites, as to where they are made.

Yes, and marketed as part of the Evolution line of engines out of China, thru Horizon. Most people call these engines Evo's.

MVVS's and ZDZ's are made in the Czech Republic and the Evolutions are a 100% Chineese clone of the MVVs line.

I seem to remember that Horizon got the MVVS distributorship away from Morris Hobby and rebadged the MVVS gassers as Evolution. It was a while back, though.
