CRRC Pro GF26I

[2robinhood]

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.

I bought mine at PRC models in canada $215 shipped. Bid on it on Ebay . Bob

You are about to be enlightened, put a Mejlik 18-6 on the CRRC and your "other" 26cc engine...

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

PS: RCIGN check out the latest issue of FLY RC as United Hobbies from Hong Kong has 2 full page adds offering DIRECT from Hong Kong prices to EVERYONE, so like I said, the world is changing and the internet is making international trade for even the little guy not only a possibility, but a REALITY.

maybe i have mis read your intentions of the response but to me it sounds like sour grapes. i take from the post that you feel you could effect the market becuse of your previous stronghold. from what i have read about you and ch you built your buisness on good customer service. by stating you could destroy the market if you got together is nothing short of arrogant. if your customer service is above what the chineese imports price provide, the customers in your target market will continue to buy from you. the others looking to buy on price will move to the chineese product. saying your old and tired and dont care only makes someone like me on the fence think the chineese ignition might be a good choice. sorry i dont mean to flame you as you have more history in rc yhan i will ever achieve but it is what it is. by the way, i have also bought a 26 pro and a 50 pro motor for my planes for less than 500.00 clams us. this allows me to have many gas planes and motors than would have previously not been possiable. they run great and time will tell if i made a wise judgement or a fool soon parted with his money.hopefuly i mis took your post early in the morning and will need to say i am sorry as i would be disapointed if this isnt the case....

Yes, unfortunately China is a "sleeping giant" just now waking up to modern technology. Once they solve their quality control issues they will be an unstoppable force we will have to deal with.

America experienced its industrial revolution almost 100 years ago. Now China is experiencing its technological revolution. China has been around for over a thousand years. The US has been around for only a couple hundred years.

Incidentally, I have the Laser 200 with everything in the picture ( see early posts), plane, engine, 821 servos, DX-7 receiver and 2 batteries for sale for $400 plus an extra set of wings and empenage for free with airplane..

I picked up the ignitions when I was in Taiwan & China back in december and have no use for them now so selling them to anyone who needs one or just wants to pick up a spare.

The gas engine planes are VERY economical to run, make hardly any mess compared to nitro plane
but are a little to large for me to transport in my car so have gone to 45" size electric planes which are still big enough to see, yet small enough to easily transport.

Our hobby is evolving at a faster and faster pace just like computers started doing a few years back. We will all have to learn to change and adapt along with it or be left behind.

My words were wrong..Dumb reaction to a low price...Disregard the whole thing..
Looking more like the avatar every day

I was out at the field again. Now the engine starts very easily and gives plenty of power. So far so good but I had to eliminate the JST connector between the CDI and the pack because it was poorly soldered and caused massive missing during flight. I tried hovering and it does it OK but as someone here pointed earlier, there's no vertical punch out. At least not for now (3/4 gallon). The bird now weighs 11 lbs 10 oz wet.
Take offs are short and easy thanks to instant low rpm power and the sound the little engine makes it quite intimidating. My Extra looks and sounds like the real deal when doing large loops and high altitude aerobatics. I'm sold on this technology and I can guarantee to never invest another dime in glow engines and only restrict the use of electrics to parkflyers. 3 cell is a good place to be.
