Default RE: KMP SBD Dauntless *NEW pics*

LDM, this engine is the same one KMP sells. Used to be RCGF 26cc. Now Aerovate is the distributor.
Great little engine! Rear carb is nice for narrow cowls. Also Keleo is now making inverted pitts exhaust systems for this motor. (I wish I knew about that before I cut my cowl). The Keleo exhaust is for the KMP corsair, but should fit the SBD's cowl easily. They are supposed to fit in the cowl without any trimming of fiberglass. I am using a Xoar 18*8 prop and it turns about 7100rpm
Some engine specs:

Aerovate 26cc
Engine Displacement (cc)-26cc Maximum Output-2.6hp/1.85KW Weight - with ignition & muffler- 39.6 ounces (1122g) Weight - w/o ignition & muffler- 34.4 ounces (975g) Speed range-1500-8000rpm Propeller-18*8 7100 rpm Full accessory package includes - Muffler, engine stand-offs, spark plug, bolts, tools, electronic ignition
