Default RE: RCGF Engines

rt3232,
This new 26cc RCGF engine is not like the one Henry sold. I have one of those too. This new engine is the size of a 20 (meaning it's about 8oz lighter than the old 26) only it's much bigger internally. The RCGF 20cc's pretty popular among those that own them, swing a 17x6 prop at the same rpm a DLE 20 does (8500+-).

Thanks much for that side by side pic of the 2 engines. That confirms what I was hoping for when I first heard about it! It will be really interesting when some real life performance data starts coming in on them? Wondering if it'll swing an 18x6 as well as the old 26cc did? Hint hint......

If it runs as good as it looks, it's going to be a game changer regarding anything available when it comes to power to weight ratios, have everyone else playing catch up for sure..... -Al
