Default I have an old one, but still runs good.

I believe I was an early buyer of an RCGF engine, I bought one new in probably early 2008 or so. It's a 50cc (DA 50 Clone), I don't see this engine listed any longer, but I still see parts available for it from RCGF. It's in an old AirWild Hobbies 29% Extra 260 and I have many hundreds of flights on it. I have used just about every 2 stroke oil under the sun in it, including a few gallons of Amsoil Saber at 100:1. I have replaced the ignition module once due to the plug wire getting worn through were it came through the firewall, and I have replaced the the carburetor once due to the choke linkage lever wearing and falling off. Other than that it still runs great.

I just had it out a couple weekends ago and I was spinning a Menz 22X8 at 7000 RPM Static (at 5500 feet altitude). I could peak it out to 7100, but I always richen about 100 RPM worth. I do remember tossing the stock spark plug that came with the engine and using a Denso U20m-u plug.
