RE: RCGF Engines

Speaking of throttle curves (and lack of sensitivity of throttle when nearing wide open throttle) this treatise I did last year may be of some value for those wanting to do it electronically instead...

RE: RCGF Engines

Johnny,

It is encouraging to me that smaller engines are in development!

Having said that, the 90 mm height from the prop shaft to the top of the cylinder is almost exactly the same as the...

RE: RCGF Engines

In regards to using an optic cut off switch (I use the 42 Percent product - works wonderfully) I was struck with a great reason to use one of these devices a couple of days ago. If, for what ever...

RE: RCGF Engines

I noticed that the 26 in Catfish2's photos has a different cylinder casting than my 26. The spark plug slants to the left on his - mine slants to the right. Has RCGF gone to a different design? My...

RE: RCGF Engines

Bob,

I too have been bitten with a long diatribe being blown off by taking too long.

I drag and copy, save to Word, any posting over a paragraph or so. That way if it is blown off, I can...

RE: RCGF Engines

Throttle spring:

On my 26, I lifted the hook on the throttle spring and let it "unwind" to the third hole in the throttle plate. This provides a VERY slight (i.e., the throttle servo will not...

RE: RCGF Engines

Two questions,

1. RCGF manual suggests "regular" 90 octane fuel. This may refer to octane method used in some countries. In the USA, pumps are labeled with (R+M)/2 or the average of research...

RE: RCGF Engines

Piston,

Do you plan to keep offering the imported Pitts muffler for the 26, or will you discontinue this in favor of the Jtec unit, or perhaps offer both? The Jtec offering is noticeably more...

RE: RCGF Engines

VeeAte,

The template you show for the mounting pattern is apparently obsolete. It shows 60 x 76 mm. - I recently received a new 26 with the small spark plug. The bolt pattern for the mounting...

RE: RCGF Engines

Nogyro and Piston,

Thanks to you both for the proper prop propensity! (Pick a peck of pickled prop peppers :) I think I will try both 17-6 and 16-8.

RE: RCGF Engines

I would appreciate any advice on the use of a 16-6 prop on the 26 (probably a Xoar.) I will be using the engine on a 1/4 Aeronca Champ, and I am looking for (1) good climbing power at the expense...

RE: RCGF Engines

Piston,

Is the prop bolt size on the 26 engine 8mm x 1.25 or 8mm x 1.0?

Thanks,

RE: RCGF Engines

Henry,

Thanks for the kind words - look forward to the dimensions.

Is the 26 available now, and if not what is current back order situation?

Thanks again,
