Hey Perche
Let me know what you are looking for? I can say that any engine you buy from us will work and that the warranty is solid. We can ship direct from the factory to you if you prefer this option!

In regards to your other concerns - The serial numbers are on the current engine line up. All of us are working to minimize the impact of the copycats and imitators and the unauthorized resellers.

My guess is that direct from the factory is the solutione. Can you PM me with some help on who to talk with?

Henry,

Do you have any reed assemblies for the rear induction 100? The early version I have developed a crack in one of the reeds and frankly I haven't had the time to order new material to make a new set. Nop biggie but a simple replacement would be easier than home manufacture.

Hey Perche
Talk to me or Steve or Adreas - We are all distributors of RCGF Engines. We have pretty good access to the factory. In fact go through us for your needs. The factory will not sell directly to you. They will tell you to contact us instead. They will ship to you through us only. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to accomodate!

ARGGGGH

Pat.... I just sold my last 100cc I had in stock.....
I can get one from the factory relatively quickly for you and have the factory mail it directly to you. All my spare parts are all coming with my next delivery (about 3 weeks away).
Sorry for that!!!!

Let me know.

Henry,

That arrangement would work out well. I'm not in a big hurry and won't likely be using the engine again this year due to work requirements. Cathrine and Andreas already have my address if they kept it around.

I was speaking with Ralph Cunningham today and, like me, he's interested to see any new designs coming out of the factory. We both agree that the RCGF machine work is head and shoulders above the rest of the Chinese competiton and if the changes that were suggested have been incorporated in the new designs you'll have a winner than can compete with any 100cc twin currently on the market. It just might win the game due to lighter weights

Hello Pat

Thanks for the great vote of confidence. The factory really is interested in working with modelers and listening to their experiences. Steve, Andreas and myself are also very vocal with the factory in ensuring that the engine line will stay a quality product. The engines are Asian made - yes - but they have been globally influenced in the engineering and tech aspects and this will continue.

Critiques on the 100cc engine that were made by you were non judgemental, straight forward, technical, and no holds barred, did provide the factory with the impetus to implement further changes (lots of what you suggested were already in process).This will not stop. As the engine line gets more exposure, we will be hearing from a wider range of modelers. Good and bad opinions will all be listened, vetted and brought to the factories attention. We are the voice of the customer - and that is all of us!

I will get your parts on order and PM you when they are here. Let Ralph know that I will be calling him.

I'll include a note to that effect in the letter I'm sending Ralph tomorrow. I know that RCGF is going about everything the right way and like you I'm certain that the r/c forums will be seeing a lot of happy reports about the engine line as the exposure increases.

I have a quick question, Will the 100cc turn a 27-10 prop 7400 RPM, If so that is one of the strongest engines around.

Just asking

Good Morning Guys,

First: Milton, The 100cc rear induction will turn a 27X10 Menz S at 6700RPM that is at the coast on STD Mufflers, on one of the first and early engines, the same that Pat received from me. This engine has been running on 32/1 Castrol TTS a total of 7hours and 40 minutes now. As Pat has stated, the reed assembly has eaten itself by the half hour mark. This was due to bad machining; the reeds actually stick out above the reed retainer (I have no Idea what one calls the thing really, maybe its the cage) The new reed's hold up fine.

Pat, I will drop a new reed assembly at the Couriers for you today and e-mail you the Tracing No. later. NC.

Attached, find some picks of the weekends flying. This was an Event here in Namibia sponsored by me, Or "RCGF Engines Africa" if you would like to call me that.
A total of 11 RCGF powered planes on the flight line on Sunday, not one problem or dead stick. It was one huge ball for us here in NAM.
Just a side note, the RCGF 50cc runs about 100RPM more than the DL-50 by now, about 1 1/2 hours of running, same prop same fuel.

Peche, have you received the info you where looking for?

I need to declare that GRPRO is not our distributor,we didn't sell our engines to him . But as now we also sell RCGF engine old items in China market ,so the way for getting our engine is various.

Now in order to prevent this situation ,so that we designed new items for our distributor only . It means the new items will not sell in China market . Also there are serial no and original warranty card for the new RCGF engine ,so that we can protect the profit for our distributor better . So pls buy engines from our authorized distributors , then you will have the free warrty service support from our factory.

You can get the real RCGF new engine from RCGF authorized distributors and factory only,it's authorized by us . If you get the "RCGF" engine from other solutions ,it may be a copy one or a RCGF China market one which we is old and without any warranty .

I would love to see a video of that, Ralph Cunninham posted on another site that he got 6400 on a 26-10 with the engine that he fixed for Pat, He is a little higher than sea level

At 6700 with a Menz that is stronger than a DA, That is great.

Hi Milton,

I don't want to start a war here, but the DA 100 running at the event at the weekend, made 6000RPM on a 26X12 Menz S, I do not know what fuel or oil the man is using?
Another thing is that the RCGF is acctually lighter than the DA (That is the old version DA100, I think the new one is again lighter)

Regards
Andreas

I have deleted parts of some of my posts in this thread, that were missleading and wrong. Sorry obout that!

I recomend that people buy genuine Rcgf engines from authorized distributors. There are "lookalikes" out there.

The RCGF 100 is lighter than even the new lightened version of the DA 100. I believe mine weighed in at around 5lbs. 4 ounces. It's been awhile so it may have been a little less. The light weight is definatly one of the RCGF 100 attributes.

Ralph Cunnngham resides at an elevation in excess of 4,000' msl, and the temperatures are frequently quite warm in the Arizona high desert, increasing density altitude even more. Typically I anticipate a loss of rpm in the area of 50 to 100 for each 1,000' of elevation increase without touching carb needles. It's not consistent but it has worked out reasonably well for me to rough estimate anticipated rpm levels at different locations.

Your right about Ralph being above Sea level.He risides at 6,770 MSL.I live south of him a few hrs and reside at 3,000 MSL.I just am stating his correct MSL so people can figure in parimeters a little better.I dont have a 100cc engine yet but i will.And when i do it will more than likely be one of these.I am already going to be talking to Piston.
