Cowling is 9 3/4 (prolly more 9 1/4 where the cylinders would be) . Engine is 200mm wide (7" 7/8) from base of spark plug to base of spark plug.

Hey Blake,

Not sure it will fit in the 70'' planes because of the plug angle. Plug hole to plug hole is 7.5” plus two times 5/8” for the plugs and CDI caps comes out to 8.75” might be a good fit for one of the 85” war birds though.

Captmicom


U sure caps and plugs are simply 5/8"x2 more? Is there a trick to shorten the overall width as possible to fit it into planes designed for 30cc?

Guess, the biggest question is, which planes will this engine fit in? Aerobatic planes, I can only think of EF 78" extra or great planes yak 54 3d. What else?

That is the $64,000.00 question. I just measured one of our 30cc/26% YAK54s and the cowl at the fuse is 8.75” wide. I did re-measure the top of a 20cc “oops!!” It is 1.25” not 5/8”. I am very sorry for the FUBAR. The 5/8” is for the angle plug clearance. Anyway it will most likely whined up being used in scale apps is my guess.

Status: offline 		That is very odd. They could have used the same muffler for both sides and it would have been just as close. All that did was add extra time and money to modify an extra muffler.
I looked at the muffler again and I believe it is installed backwards. If turned around it wouldn't interfere with the firewall.

I have to remember that one Next time I late coming home from flying, I can say ''uh...honey...I couldnt leave, my throttle linkage broke and had to fly till it ran out of fuel'' Man, it sucked big time too. I really wanted to be home with you

Yep, it just might work lol

Glad you got it back in one piece. Good arguement for leaving the return spring on. I do now on all mine.


Reminds me of the technical and medical difference between having "Guts" and having "Balls".

Guts - you come home after a night out with the boys. She is there with a broom in her hand and you ask her "Are you still cleaning or are you going out to fly?".

Balls - you come home after a night out, covered in lipstick and smelling of perfume. You slap her on the backside and say "you're next fatty".

Either way, the result is the same - Death.

Good save acerc. That is exactly why I leave the throttle springs connected.

Link to a road train...where is the train with all the RC goodies???

Status: offline 		Boy did i screw this one up. I was trying to get a million things done before heading to the hospital for an operation. You guys are right the muflers are reversed. When the muflers are on correctly there is no need for standoffs. When i get back into the office on Monday I'll post new dimnension photos with the correct muffler positions. I hope to get it on the test stand for some video and performance data next week.

Go back to the gas home page, scroll down to the crrc GF26 thread and check it out there. That thread is dedicated to your engine.
I have seen a few of the crrc engines at my field, not bad but I recommend you look at the RCFG 20cc engines. I personnally think they would be a better fit.

There is already a thread on the that engine. All you had to do was scroll down the gas engine forum page. This thread is about RCGF.
