I got both of mine ( 26cc & 50cc ) from Ray @ http://www.prcmodel.com/index.php
He can have a 26cc @ your door for $200 - $210
He is a very, very stand up guy, that stands behind his products.
He has been loyal to me, so I am loyal to him.
Does his own engine repairs, and helps his customers.
Only takes 4-5 days to get and he stocks the full line of CRRC parts and accesories.
He does a personal 21 point inspection and adds his own S/N.
His warranty is:

Every CRRC-pro gasoline engine we sell has a serial number at the back plate, That means every engine had pass our 21 points inspection before put on the serial no. We only do the warranty repair for the engine with our serial no.
2 years warranty for the engine mechanism
1 year warranty for carburetor
1 year warranty for all electronic devices


As of now, I have no reason to change.

Well my engine now needs a new plane! Some kind of radio problem caused loss of control and she hit the deck - HARD! Man the pain in my gut when I knew it was gone. DX7 and AR7000 I thought was rock solid, not so sure now. Some people say the electronic ignition can cause trouble, even with 2.4ghz. I run a 42% products opto ignition kill system and some people don't trust them? It happened so quick but I'm sure I lost elevater for a bit, plane went into a diving spin but then I got control back about 2m from the dirt. Just a frag too late, I hit the gas and tried to pull up but it belly slammed. Engine has a bent crankshaft and the carb snapped off. Good thing the parts are pretty cheap.

Ouch! Sorry for your loss! I wouldn't think 2.4 ghz would be affected by electronic ignitions.

Is that per flight, per hour or per what timeframe?

Hi Ken. MPH = milliamps per hour, so a 380 milliamp pack would run the module for one hour.

Hey Jack,

Nice to hear from you!!

Yep, I knew that part, just trying to make sure that it was understood by all. The Mah rating is an average, or a rating at a certain RPM, only because the motor draws more Mah at higher RPM's. I guess my post was requesting info on what the "actual draw" was.

Well I cracked open the box and found a cute little engine and a bunch of extras [blue anodized standoffs, spark plug wrench, a long t-shaped allen wrench, and some hardware]. The engine is pretty neat with a red head and a "Torch CMR7H" spark plug stuck on top. The DC-CDI ignition comes in a chrome plastic box warning me to, "Please do not secretly disassembles!" I hope I don't have any troubles with this ignition.

The manual gave me a chuckle or two. For example, "We are obligated to having products which make the defect to offer the service." This was in the "Waring" section. It recommends 20-25:1 for a period of 2-3 hours of run time. Also, it seems that someone with a pen has crossed out 6V and wrote in 4.8V, so I guess I'll be using 4.8 volts for the ignition.Despite the grammar and spelling, I was able to fully understand the manual.

The carb is a little different from the ones I saw in this thread. The choke has this cool little feature so that when the choke is flipped closed, a little arm engages the throttle arm and locks the choke. To release it, you simply open the throttle a bit, and the choke snaps open. I'm assuming this will allow me to flip it on the choke until it runs, and then blip the throttle so it doesn't die. Cool!

I should have the engine running this week, and I plan to put it on a Showtime 90. I hope all the pre-production bugs are worked out.

Hey Anderson, keep an eye on the output shaft when you get it going. Mine was running untrue. After a few runs, the shaft came undone! Turns out the spring washer on the back was kicking it out of true. I took it out and used blue locktite instead. Runs pretty true now. But be carefull not to do up the output bolt to tight as I did - the gold prob hub gets pushed harder up the taper on the crank causing it to spread and split where the keyway is. I had to get a new one

Thanks for the info, gazz. Mine appears to be turning true, but I'll look into it.
