Default RCV engine?

Any comments about the RCV's engines.
I found the Rotating Valve Technology something cool.
I would need a 4 stroke and the RCV58-CD look good.

You should probably have your question on the engine forum listed here. But I will tell you that the engines are a pretty neat design. I have the .90 that has the horizontal piston. The sleeve drives the prop. I haven't got mounted on any model yet, but I have completed the breakin proceedure and I'm impressed.
What where you going to put the motor on? Have you considered there .60 ?

It is for a piper J3 cub 48 I just bought.

I find surprises every day regarding the technology for RC's, really nice ideas these people have!

RCV engines are lighter and smaller as well comparing to the regular design, isn't it?

Do this manufactor deliver from US to US or all comes from UK if we buy online?

Is the RCV60-SP 2 strokes?

Everything RCV sells is four stroke. Go to www.rcvengines.com they have an area that will help you locate someone here in the states that handles them. Wildcat fuels used to, but there are others now. [&:]
