Some of the CRRC 26cc engine I see on line have the plug in the middle of the head and some have the plug at an angle like the pics jimcork1 posted. Are these different versions or a different engine all together using the same name ???




Zippi, that's the 50 size CRRC with the plug at an angle.

All 26cc are the angled plug.

This is the 26cc.



This is the 50cc.



I have them both and am very happy with them both, my 50cc I am getting 6800rpm with a Vess 22B and 6850rpm with a Mejzlik 22 X 10.
All at under a gallon of fuel @ break in mix or 25:1.

Remember mine is the 50CC , not the 26, and this might be why the angled plug.

I stand corrected. Thanks for clearing that up. Seems like a nice little engine that produces a lot of rpm on an APC 17X6 prop.

Status: offline 		Hi.
Can i use 2cell lipo(7,4v) for the ignition on my CrrcPro 26cc with a 5v regulator? i know the instruktionmanual say 4,8v, but will the extra 0.2v make any difference?
Thanks in avance.
Best regards

Status: online 		Another happy camper! I just ran my 26 for the first time today. First start on a MAS 16X6 was hitting 9000 rpm, and that got my attention, real quick. I switched to an APC 16X8 I have used on my other engines (gives me a reference point) and got 8500, first tank, factory needle settings.

I expect with more run in and optimizing the needles, I will see better performance down the road. Amazing little engine!

I,ve had a bit to do with these engines, including stripping them down and changing bearing and seals.
The hardest part on starting these engine is drawing up fuel. They like a rich start. Make sure they are well choked on first start of the day.

I'm running a GF26 in a 69" Extra 260 & a GF50 in a 80" Katana.
The GF26 swings a 16X8 new Carbon copy composite at 8600 rpm.
