Due to popular demand, the RCV 90-SP is going to be the newest addition
to the RCV Engine Series. The RCV 90-SP is now available! Fitting
neatly between the 60 and the 120, it combines all
of the design and technical achievements of the existing engines
and will bridge the gap between the two.
Now
there is no reason to use any other 4-stroke engine between a 52
and a 120. The RCV90--SP is currently in prototype stage however
will have a similar power output to a conventional poppet valve
four stroke of the same capacity, and can be used in any sport or
scale model that would normally use a four stroke 90. It can however
fit most models with airframes ranging from 70 - 80 - 90.
The
compact streamlined shape means that fully cowled installations
are that much simpler to arrange, and the 2:1 output gearing means
that larger more scale like propellers can be used. You can purchase
this engine from all good modelling shops or alternatively you can
order direct from RCV using their secure on-line catalogue.
