Maybe I should have posted this here instead of the long and winded RCGF thread....

Well I got my RCGF 62 last night. My motor was received from Southeast RC Engine. The motor came with the RCGF badge on the ignition, it did not say 'Walbro' on the carburator. I was hoping it came with 'Walbro and RCexl ignition but will give it a try.

I am by no means an engine expert but I can disassemble and put them back together just fine as I have had Zenoah, 3W, Moki and OS etc prior and those motors all run great IMHO. This is my first 'Chinese' made engine, well not really, I did have a Magnum .40 and that ran pretty good.

I am not disappointed yet because I have not run the motor but I did find these few things that I thought could be better...

- Nearly all the screws are loose, they all have different pressure when I removed them. Ever tried removing a Zenoah screws? specially the cylinder head screws (you know what I am talking about if you ever removed one) they are tight and they have been aided with some form of loctite)
- I broke one of the fin trying to remove the nut that holds the muffler screw. The nut would not go into the slot on the head and tried to remove it to reposition doing so I broke one of the fin. WOW! The piece that came off, I can break into a hundred pieces using my fingers and a needle nose pliers. This is good to know that I should not even think about crashing this motor.
- Did they use the wrong size tap? Well I don't see a single screw that goes into any thread well enough. The only time the screw ever gets tight is when it bottoms out. I can wiggle all the screws into any thread on any motor part. Not dissapointed but scares me that I will strip a screws or it will strip themselves during operation (In my case the chances are more likely in flight).

Enough said! I will remain positive till I get some runs on this motor. I have a G62 and will run the same day, same prop and same muffler to see some numbers for comparison.
