Looking for most powerful RC engine
 

I saw some large RC engines online, but can't find them now and don't remeber who made them.

It seems one was 60 hp and about 30lb. That is the size I need.

Can anyone tell me who makes them or give me a link to them?

Thanks a lot,

Do a search for Ultralite Engines. I think Carr makes some of them.

I looked at your web page and have one question; Have you flown that thing?

Ford 60

Dick,

I know what a V8-60 is but 99.999% of this audience do not. They didn't race Midgets either!

To avoid any chance for error let's make certain we have the option to run it on 'fuel' with or without a Norton 180. That, will allow us to pick the torque curve we need.

The V8-60 weighed more than 30#, too. My cousin had one in a '39 Ford and I had one in a boat. You guys are dating yourselves.

A friend had one in a '38 Ford coupe, with straight exhaust pipes made from 3 inch brass bedposts..Quite a sound when backing down in 2nd gear at the end of the street:D
OOPS...better say "airplane" somewhere here, don't wanna get deleted:eek:

Had the V8 60 in a '38 Ford Deluxe 2dr sedan... twin straight pipes, ball trimming in the windows, reflector mud flaps.. Would run 62mph flat out, sounded like 100, ahh, those were the days...

RE: Looking for most powerful RC engine
 

Thank you very much. That way the one I was looking for. Charles;)

One hovered unmanned. Hope to be testing the carbon fiber HoverCopter in the next week or so. Thanks, Charles

Keep us posted on how it turns out and take some video. I gotta see how this turns out.

I would not get up out of the electric chair to ride that thing. [X(]
Not NO but H311 No!

Hi!
Reminds me of some of the movies from the thirties in which persons was trying out new inventions.
Remember one "helicopter thingy" powered by a big V-8 or was it a Gnome Rhone rotating engine with a big parasoll flapping above...:D Hopping and jerking around tossing the pilot out before it shook itself to pieces!
Hope this will work out better...!
Regards!
