I like the mounting style - the muffler box mounts to the firewall with exhaust out the bottom. No expensive pipes to buy. How do intend to use yours?

Status: offline 		I am curious about this engine. I always thought the muffler/ mount begged for a scale application. I'm sure you could gain more power with a different exhaust and I have wondered how it would respond to a pipe. I do think Mecoa has kind of priced it in the "too bad" category. I still wonder about the engine, but will probably never get to see one.

Status: offline 		I found one NIB on *bay. I also found the RCM engine review. Apparently they're timed a little racier than I thought. It looks like the muffler is very restricting. I'm collecting Balsa for a Big John biplane that I have plans for.

Here's the report if anyones interested.

Look under reviews.

I found it on the RCM plans website under reviews.

Do you run one of these?

I noticed that the "outboard" and "fan" engines use different part numbers for the cylinders. It might be interesting.

For some reason I've always been attracted to somewhat "odd" model engines. It's a hobby right...

Status: offline 		BW, if my Sweety doesn't keep me too busy and my Harley doesn't sit up and beg I may run mine both as a glow and as a Diesel just for some engine runnin fun. Mine has been boxed up and Corrosion Xed for a couple of years. I have some 5% fuel with 16% lube that I added 3 oz of castor to.
