RE: RCGF Engines

You might consider ceasing to mislead your customers. If you are going to sell them engines they deserve knowledge and truth from their distributor.

RE: RCGF Engines

RE: RCGF Engines

One must ask, rated by whom, and how were those numbers obtained. I can't believe people still look at HP numbers, especially from Chinese manufactures, and use them for a reference point. That 20...

RE: RCGF Engines

Closer in power levels to a glow .80 or .90. Gas engines really don't come into their own power wise until they get a bit larger, but even then a glow engine of equal size will make more power. ...

Sorry to hear about the problems you're having with the engine but there may be a solution. You and Southeast RC are both in Florida, although I don't know how far you are from them. Southeast has...

Ron,

Thanks for the response. It made your earlier post sit a little better. I trust Al completely and I hope you all do well with the product line. It would be nice to see that a change took...

RE: RCGF Engines

Serce,

By your statement above you are implying that people that have reported numerous issues with RCGF are liars. I cannot comprehend how you can willfully do that since, by your own...

RE: RCGF Engines

There has not been an engine mounting template that came with a kit or engine I have trusted yet. For me it's always a matter of making my own. A large percentage of the time you'll end up...

Steve,

Sometime back you mentioned that at one time I had rather irritated you with some comments. Although I do that with most everyone, I suspect it may have been about the time I decided...

I had the off center rod drilling on my first 100, and also with the replacement crank they sent out, but the issue was on the small ends. Antique made mention of it at the time. I don't believe...

RE: RCGF Engines

The very good point that Henry made was that QC for the engines him and Steve handled was performed on a much higher level that what is standard with the line. Where there should be concern is with...

RE: RCGF Engines

A CM-6 is a CM-6 regardless of where you obtain it. They will run for over 100 hours so having a big stock of plugs doesn't make a lot of sense unless you have a lot of engines that use them.
