RCV 4 -Stroke Model Aero Engines

The RCV - rotary cylinder valve four stroke engine represents a major advance in model engine design.
Although its moving components  (piston, crank, cylinder and rotary valve) are totally conventional,
they are arranged in a radically novel configuration to provide the aero modeller with several key benefits,
whilst having similar handling characteristics to other 4-stroke model engines:-
 

RCV130-CD - 1.3 cu in / 21 cc

Now Available

 

Following the considerable success of both the RCV58-CD and RCV91-CD, we at RCV are pleased to announce the latest addition to our RC model engine range - the RCV130-CD.

 

The engine still uses RCV's unique rotary valve system - which has only one extra moving component to a 2-stroke and so is easy to maintain.  This ultra-compact engine is even shorter than conventional .90 4-stroke engines, so once again cowling will be much easier than other 4-strokes.
 
So if you are looking for a reliable, easy to use 4-stroke engine,  that is easy to cowl and sounds like the 'real thing' then the RCV130-CD engine is a perfect option to power your 90 - 120 size model.
