This is a poll to find out what size of RCV "CD" engines would be the most desired by the modeling public. The CD engine range is the new RCV engine which at the time only has the .58 and will soon have the .96. The .96 will be 81mm (3 3/16" tall from center line to top of head. This dimension is exactly the same as the OS .60FP 2cy engine. Please respond to this post only once and encourage others to do the same. "But PLEASE respond" You may have more than one size you want to see, please list them in the order of preference most preferred on top.

Hi Otto,

I was going to say something a little bigger than, say, an OS 91FS, but I see RCV is going to have that covered.

How about something in the 1.3 range? 1.4 maybe? That would get into alot of 1/4 scale stuff that way. Maybe even pull a F8F?

Talk to you later,
Chip

I would suggest a 1.25 cu. in. engine called the 125, it's a nice sounding number and nobody except Maloney makes one that size, you'd be surprised how many people would buy it just because it's .05 bigger than a 120.

I think that I would like to see something in the 1.5 range in both the "CD" and the "SP" line.

How about a gas RCV engine? Something that will go into a .60 to 1.20 sized warbird.

How about a twin based on the CD design? Small, large, doesn't matter.

I would suggest 1.3 or a 1.6 in that profile.

a .72 for the .40 size planes and a 1.8 for the 1.20 planes would be nice.

How about a .75 in the SP line as it would be right in between the .60 and the .90?

SP range - 2.5 - 3.0 GAS (something for an 85" warbird turning a scale size 4 blade with hot performance)

CD range - 1. See above
2. 1.80

There seems to be a lot of "120" size ARF and kit planes available. I think that one in the 120 physical size would be Ideal.

As Hobbsy mentions, a 1.25 would have a nice ring to it. There's not any around anymore this size and it would have a nice unique number that people would remember.

I like the possibility of a big block. Something like a 2.5 ci. Since other guys on this thread like the sound of a 125 you could call this a 250. When it come to big engines the choices get limited, beyond the Saito 180 or YS 140 people are forced to 2 cycles like Moki 180 or 210 or they go gas. I think a smooth running light weight big block 4 cycle single cylinder would fill a nitch that is now empty

I agree with the friend from ohio: a big 4 stroke single cylinder of more than 30cc capacity (i.e. 1.80 for you!) is missing on the market and should be very interesting.
I think the right way should be a big friend of the RCV 58 that is more easy to fit in a cowl and should have the same cooling of a traditional engine.
