Hi Jeff,

Thank you for posting your video of the RCGF 120 Twin in action. RCGF-USA greatly appreciates you and your efforts to get the word out.
We got some bad press because of major design changes between v1 and v2 of the 120T.
It turned out that you can Not mix the crank and hub parts of the two versions together.

Anyway Thank You,,,,

Joe..

All Right!!!!

RCGF-USA has just released two more new engines. RCGF-USA announced the new RCGF 10cc BM at the AMA show in January of this year with the release happening in February.
RCGF-USA announced our New 21cc twin at the Toledo show in April of this year. I am now happy to let you all know that we just released the new RCGF21cc twin.
The second of our new releases at this time is the RCGF 20cc BM/RM. This one caught me totally by surprise because we had discussed this new design but had decided to keep it for a future release. So that said we are proud to announce the release of our all new RCGF 20cc Beam Mount with Rear Muffler. If you would like more info you can got to the web site www.rcgfusa.com or give me a call at the shop.

MAN!! Now I have to build two more new demo planes for these two new engines as well........ "Can't Wait to get mine in the Air!"

Hey guys...I like the looks of the RCGF 32cc, but I have a question. I am flying a GW Yak 54 that has a DLE 30cc engine mounted. Will the RCGF 32 be an exact replacement and also will the muffler from the DLE fit the RCGF, as I don't want to have to modify the cowling.
Thanks for any input on this..

I don't have ether, So I would check port size bolt pattern (spread) and try it also check for clearance at cooling fins, So if all are good it should work

Good Luck

Cheers Bob T

PS If the head is threaded make sure you don't use to long of a bolt, as you can damage the cylinder

Agreed. If you want a motor they don't make, go buy it from someone who does and don't ***** about it. And how can anyone complain about a company that wants to change existing motors to make them better? Their new engines are great!

Awesome plane, awesome flying and it looks/sounds like the 120 runs great! And for 600 bucks?! You can't beat that with a stick...

Does it have a Walbro carb or a clone? In the description on the RCGF site it says Walbro but in the specs it simply says RCGF for the carb.

Hey Joe, I had a fellow club member ask me how I've liked my RCGF engines (of course I told him I love them) because he's having a problem with his 15cc (it may be a 10cc, but I'm pretty sure he said 15cc) engine leaking somewhere around the crank case. He didn't have it with him so I didn't get to see it. He said he hasn't had it long, maybe not even quite broken in. It's the one with stand-offs, not a beam mount.

Anyway, I'll give him your phone number. His name is Justin. He said he called RCGF and RCGF USA but wasn't able to get in contact with anyone.

Thanks,
Jeremy

PS, I left feedback on your new website for the 26ccBM and the 60cc single.

Okay, I'll find out where he got it.

That's cool it's got a genuine Walbro. Not that the clones had anything wrong with them. Are all the new motors going to be Walbro now?

Yup it is and it is huge!! The thing could down a hot dog bun and all.....as for the smaller engines No they will have our HLIC for now.... just as an FYI the smaller carb bodies are all made in the same plant. The only difference is the name plate on top. You may have noticed when we brought the web site up last year the engine prices dropped a bunch. I don't see us spending extra for the walbro name on the small end for now because the HLIC carbs are working just fine.

Yeah I don't think it would be worth the extra cost to the consumer to change them. The carbs on my 26ccBM and 60cc motors work just fine.

I can't believe we can get a good 120ccT for $610 shipped to my door! It makes me want a bigger plane! The only thing holding me back is stepping up to the electronics for dual servo ailerons. The new PAU Viper ST has a split Aileron to make servo matching easier, so I guess that's an option. It's a pretty sick plane.

You got it Dr. "J"... it is still the same carb it just has a different name stamped on the top of it.

Last year this time the 120T sold for $750.00 and now our plan is to own the market place!!! When you get ready to jump let me know I always have engines in stock and ready to go..!!

The ST kind of looks like a 260 just a bit... for my big planes I use one of our power management units. We make them in 15, 20, 30, and 40 amp steps. It will match up to two servos per channel for up to 8 channels. The two higher end units even have our Opta Kill switch built in. I will try to post some photos of this monster I am working on now...
