This is who sells them in the US. http://www.rcshowcase.com/

They sell them under the "RCS" name here, but they are MOKI engines.

This is not to be confused with the MOKI glow engines, they are a different company alltogether.

I have a Moki 44cc B2 (twin) that RCS used to sell, it's a neat looking little twin.

The Moki company did not protect their name by copyright. The US importer obtained the copyright and will not allow engines to be sold in the US under the Moki name. The glow engines are sold in the US under the name of Mark.
Another manufacturer in Germany took the Moki name in Germany. This is the gas engines called RCS in this country.
I have an RCS44B2. The box it came in said "Made in Hungary"
You are welcome to explain it if you can.

I was curious and dug this post up from about five years ago. It was posted by Davis Diesel.



For those that have all these unanswered questions on Moki heres the skinny.

We at Davis Diesel started importing Moki from Hungary starting in arround 1990. The wall was still up at the time and we had to deal through a government agency. They made a 1.5 a .15.40, 51 and .61.
The man running the company at the time was a Mr. Zultan Bimbi a world class team racer. He was the reason we got the line. Many people had tried for years without success. Mr. Bimbi being a diesel person felt that since we were diesel people we would be very engine oriented and would provide good service for the line. We advised them to make the 1.5 into a 1.8 and a 3.6 twin and gave them a SuperTigre radial mount. After the wall came down the ownership changed and Mr. Bimbi was let go. He had been selling the 1.5 to a mail order house called Air-world in Germany. they had money and he needed a job so he developed the gasoline line in a different plant in Hungary. To keep Moki glow people out of Germany he had Airworld trademark Moki in Germany.
For those that need parts for Moki we have many. just give a call.



BTW, I have not yet run my RCS 44b2. Mike dooley at RCS told me he imported 50 of them, (I think) and it took 3yrs to sell them, so he stopped selling this engine.

I use mine in a 84" Fly Baby bipe. Its a perfect engine for that airplane. The only problem has been keeping all those 12 mounting bolts tight. It runs fine but the ignition crapped out and I had to get another one. RCS gave me a new one.
