RCV 90 fuel consumption
Can anyone enlighten me as to the fuel consumption rate of this engine (RCV 90). I will be using them an my B-17, but I am limited by space to 16 oz tanks. what sort of run time is that likely to give me? Thanks for your help.

The 90 which I am running with a 19x13 Master Airscrew will give me 1.5 Minutes /oz. This will depend on the Top RPM which your props will allow I just set up and sold some Zinger 15x12 3 blade props which will turn at 5500, that is a little too fast, and way too much power for the P-38 they are going on. Also the engines should be matched for compression, timing and gear mesh so they run the same otherwise you may have some trouble with thrust.
