Does anyone recognize this engine?

Hi,

I bought this engine on the weekend at a swap meet. It has no markings other than "Made In China" and I was told it was a .61 glow engine.

See pictures below.

Thanks for your help.

Kinda...Sorta.. Maybe, Just an older version of the popular GMS ?? Except that the head is not round.

It looks like a "VMax" (or similar name) marketed by VMar. We had one at our field. A reliable but not very powerful unit.

That's my guess too...I have seen a couple at our field.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I did a search and was able to find the engine, with pictures, at Richmond Hill hobies, from there I found the manual. It is a VMAX.

Althougth I can't find the hp or RPM (which I'd like to have), they do give dimensions and prop sizes.

From the dimensions I was able to confirm it is a .61.

Thanks for your help.

Those HP@rpm figures are meaningless anyway
