+1 for Captmicom he overhauled my odd-ball RCGF 26 quickly for a good price; it runs great now. I'm finally uploading pictures of the 60cc RCGF Captmicom offered up for an online raffle at the end of last year. Busy Spring, but finally got my test stand out the other day with the 60 on it. Started like it was a completely broken in engine: Throttle wide open----full choke----popped on the third pull through. Throttle cracked above idle-----ran on the third pull. Pump gas/Stihl dino orange bottle 32:1/ ValleyViewRC 24X9 prop. Checked RPM's after a couple of quick heat cycles and it gave 6510rpm WOT and would idle around 1900rpm. Ran about 5 heat cycles total and never touched a needle---settings as delivered were right on with a clean no hesitation throttle up and a touch fat on the upper end. IR Thermometer around 150-175 deg F running. Don't believe in excessive "break-in" time----I'd rather break-in in the air-----so it's on to mount and fly probably in my GP Giant Aeromaster bipe.
