RE: RCG 26cc - Anyone using this engine?
Just ran it the first time today.<div>
</div><div>Not sure how someone could say the G20 is more powerful. My G20 never spun a 17x6 this fast and it, too, was brand new when I crashed it (so it's an equal comparison of two non-broken in engines). I think this motor weighs about the same, too. Anyway, I'm happy with this motor. After only 15 ounces of fuel it's starting easily, transitioning beautifully, WOT is great (if a little slow at 8100 RPM) and idle is smooth.</div><div>
</div><div>Not sure what else I could ask for, especially when a DLE20 is more $$$ by far....sure it's lighter...but this airplane flew wonderfully on the G20 (when it was running) and the weight between the two is a wash.</div><div>
</div><div>We will see what the future holds. For now I'm happy.</div>
