Guys expecting customer service from Hobby King, well they're gamblers, or about to get an education...

That's the way you have to look at buying from HK. It may work out, it may not.

For me, I've been pretty lucky with HK, but I always understand that when buying at HK, I am operating under the old adage, "You pays your money, you takes your chances!"

Sounds like the crankcase is leaking air. The best thing to do is dissasemble the engine and put it back together with good RTV.

Status: offline 		What prop(s) are suggested for the RCGF 20CC? BP Hobbies site gives a rediculous range! 15x6, 16x6, 17x8, 18x8? Which do you feel would be best for engine longevity? I have the engine installed on a 58" bipe. Not sure of the weight but probably around 8 lbs.

Thanks!

16x6 will give you 9000 rpm on the ground
18x8 should give you about 7600 to maybe 8000 on the ground depending on the prop.

It is all about whant you want to do with the engine. It is best for the life and performance of the engine to prop it so you don't go much over 9500 rpm unloaded in the air. You can usually count on the engine unloading between 500 to 1000 rpm once it gets in the air again depending on the prop you put on it (i.e. Xoar, Zinger, Master Air screw and so on). I hope this helps some.

I got Good News and Bad News.........

I guess I will go with the Bad News first... I can't get the cases or jug to seal well enough to get the darn thing to draw fuel.
All of the decks are warped. The Good News is... I can't get the thing to seal and draw fuel..!! Remember when I told you that you might not recognize it when you got it back? I am going to have to rebuild the bottom end with new cases crank and so on. I hope that you were not in love with that one "BIG" bolt that you were holding the prop on with because it will be gone most likely. I don't think that I can make it work on the new RCGF cases and crank. I will use what I can off your engine. So stay tuned I will get back to you next week end.

Status: offline 		Hey Guys,

I sent my RCGF 45 to Joe Nelson after I gave up on trying to make it run. As you can see by Joe's posts, the engine was beyond repair and he had to pretty much just replace it. I bench ran the new engine yesterday for the first time and I gotta tell ya that it is awsome! It runs like a Swiss Watch, great idle, fast acceleration and a good solid full throttle run. I was hoping to have a maiden flight report for you today but the weather just would not cooperate. We have 40 MPH winds with a storm comming in and it will be several days before the weather clears. My hats is off to Joe Nelson and RCGF for the support of their products. I had less that six flights on that engine before it went south but I have also had it for some time. I believe that Joe and RCGF went above and beyond where most other Companies would do to support their products. I can't say thank you enough to Joe for his support.

Roger

Status: offline 		I finally had a chance to get that maiden flight in with my new RCGF 45 engine on my GP Giant Super Sportster. The performance was good, great, wonderful, super, awesome, fantastic & stupendous!!! I just can't say how neat is was to get my Super Sportster into the air again after such a long struggle with the old engine. Again I will say, I just don't know any other mfg. that would step up to the plate like Joe Nelson and RCGF did. That is the best customer service I have seen anywhere. Joe certainly made a believer out of me.
