CRRC Pro GF26I

[ken crane]

that picture is my tribute to my specktrum "reciever lockout" too many seconds to wait before the ground came up! that was a cool plane that had a zenoah g20.it hit so hard that it bent the crank. that motor is going out to a guru in miami for a warming over to go in my super skybolt i am building from a kit.

I have my tank in the stock location.
The plane flys well with the GF26I, but it has no where the performance it did with th e OS 1.60FX.
As of now it it a nice sport flyer, but not 3D.
11 lb. 2 oz. is to much for weight for 3Ding with this motor,.
I am still trying different props, but my weather has just been so bad on my flying days.

one more question. i found that other then the head and pipes the motor fits nicely under the cowl. did you cut the side for the velocity stack or remove it and keep the cowl uncut? this isnt going to be a 3d machine for me just a nice arobatic/imac style plane. have you tried a larger flatter pitch prop? i found with my funtanna and the g20 zenoah that a 16/5 was a much better prop to 3d than the 16/8 that they recomended.

I cut the cowl for the velocity stack.
I have the entire bottom cut out of the cowl for the pitts muffler and for 1 - 3 ratio of air exit.
Plus it was cut different from the OS 1.60FX so there are some holes in it from the needle vavle adjustment and the glow driver.

I finally maiden my Extra (76 inch ws) with the CRRC Pro 26 and all went great. I burned gas for about 120 minutes on the ground and when the engine gave me signs that it was ready, decided to go fly. It's a great engine for this plane at close to 11 lbs with a half tank (14 oz). I didn't push her much, especially on up lines but it seemed to climb with authority. I tached it at 7130 on the ground with a Hawk 18x6. It idled around 2100, a bit high but I'm sure it will get better as more fuel is burned.

Hiya fellas, I've been interested in these motors since a flying buddy told me about them. He has 2 of them and really likes them.

I have a queation since I've found that http://www.valleyviewrc.com/CRRC%202...s%20Engine.htm sells them for $253 US shipped. Is this the same engine as western hobbies? they have it for like a $100 more? Thats a big difference in price.

Brand ???? I KNOW what an RC EXL costs from China... Direct..In a week.....
Wanna play ???
C&H and I have been making the best ignitions in the world for about 20 years...Along came China...
We can't buy the parts to make an ignition alone for what the RC EXL costs complete....
The RC EXL is the best of the other ignitions, hands down....
Where were all you opportunists back then ???
I don't know if Bill would go along, and not saying we WOULD, but together we could DESTROY the ignition market for anyone else in the US...Don't forget we're both OLD and don't much care anymore...
Until the Chinese figure out they don't need a middleman.....Then it's REALLY all over...
I haven't put RC EXL ignitions for sale on my website, but I COULD...

Unfortunately the world is changing to a "world economy whether you or I like it or not.

We all have the choice to fight them or join them, but just you and I will not make a nats ass difference in the long term scheme of things to come.

I know from experience the ignition that came with the early CRCC 26 engines had a problem and I replaced mine with an RCexl ignition and it then ran FLAWLESSLY!!!

I have a few extra ignitions for sale to anyone who has had one fail or burn out (like turning over engine with electric starter without the plug grounded)

Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but this is AMERICA and I believe it is still a FREE ENTERPRISE market.

So I am offering these few to clear out my stock as I am switching TOTALLY to electric RC. The new Lipo batteries, switching regulator controllers and brushless motors offer better throttle response and more power if you want to pay the price for the battery packs all about ABOUT the same weight. ( See Jason Schuleman's results in recent RC contest)

single cyl ignition ( specify CM-6 or BPMR6F plug) $50 ( 2 each for $75)

twin cyl ignition ( specify CM-6 or BPMR^F plug) $55 ( 2 each for $90)

ignitions complete with hall effect sensor and mount

YES they are RC exl Brand new in the box
