K&B Ringed .61
 

Last weekend I bought a box of old engines at an R/C auction and one of them is a K&B baffle piston .61 R/C engine. I soaked it in glow fuel and now it turns over "OK". What kind of RPM can I expect from this engine? Is a APC 11x7 an OK prop size?

Thanks

I used to have several of these. You should get around 13500 with that prop. That's what mine would do.

....you'll get around 12 thousand revs with that prop. ;)

Thanks,

This engine is quite light I bet I could overpower a .46 sized plane? Hope the ring is not stuck.

Mine gets about 12,500 with most 11x7's. The pdp version will get almost 1000 more.

mine standard, 12K rpm too..

excellent engine... very good power for a not schneurle type,..

I used mine in a Piper Clipped for .40 engine without problems of heavy nose..

....the K&B .61 is the perfect power plant for 40-46 size planes.
I have one in a Ultra Stick 40. An 11-7 1/2 Master Airscrew is great
on the .61's. ;)

FBD. :D
