I have been following this thread for some time to find out more about the new 20cc rear carb engine. It seems it finally is here in the states and some people have one. If someone would post some weight,measurements and price, I would appreciate it.

I have been following this thread for several weeks since I am interested in the new 20cc rear carb engine. Since they are now in the states and some people have one, could someone post the price, weight and measurements? All the post I see are someone has one but that is all the information given.

I am sorry for the confusing post. I did mean the RCGF engine. Looking through the search, there still wasn't the information I was looking for.

Thanks for the link but I already have seen that one. It is a side carb model. I want to find more about the rear carb since I have a model I am planning on installing it in. The width, height and weight will decide if I can use it. Also I am interested in the price. It has been a long time since I neglected to ask how much before I bought anything.

I just got one from [link=http://www.kmp.ca/]KMP[/link] just wating for it to get here the price with shipping was $246 I can give specs to you when I get it. Just call them for the rear carb it is not on there site.

decent rear carb 20cc?? not likely to happen soon at a decent price. 20cc is still the realm for glow engines, so at best you could see a glow engine-like gas engine with front carb, so it can do without the xtra parts needed for a rear carb lay-out. Just my thoughts, it may not be yours.

here is some pics of the 20cc .

Mitchf, you have been very helpful. Now would you mind giving me the measurements for prop hub to firewall, mounting width, width including factory muffler and height from centerline? Once I get these measurements I will be good to go. I plan to mount the 20 on a Bruce Tharpe Flying King.

mitchmcf

I will as soon as it get here.

Too bad it's not rear exhaust also. It could fit in some narrow cowls that way. Plus it would be easier to run a tuned pipe.

I read on the RCGF thread that some people feel it will be fairly easy to rotate the exhaust to the rear by a slight modification to the skirt.

pe reivers

Oh Boy! How wrong I was.
The engine looks nice. How does it run?

I talked with Henry at RCGF about rotating the cylinder towards the rear. He and his crew think it is possible. You have to modify the cylinder skirt to clear the crank counter balance, but should work. I have one on order. I'll break it in stock, then later I'll sacrafice the warrenty and rotate the cylinder and see if it works. I'm planning on putting mine in a Rascal110 and some time later, I'll buy a couple more for busa 1/4 scale J3 and L4.

What about ring wear/cylinder mating. If you break the motor in first and THEN rotate the cylinder, are you not concerned about the fact that the piston/cylinder have allready mated with one another????

Edwin

My Feedback: (2)

Duh! You are very correct. What was I thinking. I would need to modify the second one.

Hey Guys

Aussiesteve and I are running the 20cc side and 20cc rear to get the numbers. As distributors of the Aerovate engines, we prefer that the guys put the rpm and thrust numbers on the blog, but these engines have stirred our interest. We see these engines as extremely plausible replacements for 70- 120 ci glow engines.

We put the engines on test stands and ran them using 32:1 gas/oil.

20cc Side mount - 16/6 - 9300 rpm...
20cc Rear mount - 16/8 - 9300 rpm....

The engines have less than an hour run time on them (he and I are in the middle of 6 other projects!)

There will be video posted on the
[link=http://www.zrcgf.com]www.zrcgf.com[/link] site tonight of the 20cc running a Profile plane... REALLY NICE!!!! Thanks T3BEATZ!!


Here are the links !!!!

Still wating for mine.

Wow.. nice videos! If those RPM figures are correct - the slimy and expensive glow power is over in 60-90 class as well!
Very nice engine! Its light, cheap to buy, cheap to run, very powerful and looks good. At last..
Its time we will see a 50% drop in price for OS engines hahah!

liquid_TR

Forgot to ask, does this engine use roller bearings or bushings on the conrod? (I assume roller bearing from the 32:1 oil mix)

mrbigg

My Feedback: (21)

Good luck on the price of OS Engines. There will always be someone willing to overpay to get one.

That's a great looking motor, good price, and should be the perfect motor for my Sr. Telemaster to keep it out of glow. I only saw the side carb for sale on the website - any news on when the rear carb would be available?
