Default RCV 58 CD Engines

I need a pair of RCV 58 CD engines for my B25. Does anyone know who carries them in the U.S.?

I have bought them direct from the UK, no problem, came within 10 days.

You can also go to the RCV Website to locate US dealers.

I havn't done business with VQ, but I have met the owner 'Thomas' a few times, and I can say, he is a great guy and lots of people talk highly of him; he has posted on RCU a ton of times, goes by nemesis4u; shoot him an email or give him a call.

I can Assure you Tomas will be nothing but a pleasure to deal with. I have gotten an ARF from him and many others I know have gotten them as well.

I have some personal experience witht the RCV 58. I installed a pair of them on my Canadair CL-215 floatplane. During breakin, they turned up 10,500 RPM out of the box with an 11x7 prop. They climb my big floatplane at a 45 degree climbout... I am happy.....

Thanks,Taildragger. I have two 91CDs. They are the most reliable four strokes I've owned. My 58s should be in any day now. I have the B25 glassed and primed. It should weigh out right at 15lbs. Poland, here I come!

Do you have any photos of your B-25 build? Also what's the status on your 1/3 scale SE5a project?
