Kraft 61. I think they make the same engine called the RJL , it comes from MECOA. Correct me if I got him wrong.

Thanks guys. your right I went to MECOA's web site and looked up the RJL K.61 and it say's All parts interchange between Kraft .61 and RJL K.61. I picked it up a garage sale for $5.00 but they didn't know any thing about. Its not a bad ruining engine perty dependable nice Sunday flyer nothing hi performance.

It's a Kraft 61. Produced by Phil Kraft back in the 70's. Was a great engine and a top performer in FAI pattern. I have a couple NIB I picked up years ago when I was into pattern. Sold the used ones and kept the new ones. They also came with a Kraft carb. One of mine has that carb and the other has the Perry pump and Carb.

Mecoa picked up the rights to the kraft name and all the dies and has been making them for years under the RJL name. RJL is Randy J. Linsalato who owns the company.

One other little item for everyone that badmouths OS because they have plastic backplates. Kraft was using plastic backplates back in the 70's.
