'2005 was an excellent year for me with plenty of fun flying my RCV58CD powered Flair SE5 ' P. Rowlings, UK

I took (and passed) my "A" flying cert yesterday. i took 3 models with me, 2 of which did not like the cold and decided not to play. It came down to my scale Cessna with one of your engines to save the day. The engine started immediately as normal, it throttles superbly and idles without a fuss, and it sounds wonderful! Thank-you for producing a lovely engine and for saving the day' M. Bray, UK

'It sounds great and has ample power. The compact engine is fully contained within the cowl. I am so happy with my RCV58-CD, I've bought another (which I'm keeping for the right model!) and am busy rebuilding a World Models Corsair that will be powered by an RCV60SP. These engines do exactly what they say on the tin! Thanks' R. Norman, UK

Starts and runs reliably, does the job beautifully' W. Wilson, USA

The best fuel economy that I have ever seen from a glow engine' S. Molmer, USA

Flying Time - 63.5 hrs
Very powerful for it's size, smooth and quiet. The longer I use it, the better it performs. M.Clawson, USA

'Motor is running great, it hasn't quit one time' M. Rorie, USA

'It purrs like a kitten. Idles well and transitions without hesitation. We then proceeded to do touch and goes. We did full stall landings, hold the nose off landings, one wheel landings...in other words we had a ball and the engine performed flawlessly. With more than 4-gallon through the engine, It's still running like a champ' B. Gizzie, USA

'Starts GREAT!, excellent power, the longer it runs the better it seems to get' S.Kubasta, USA

'the engine is excellent. It runs whisper quiet and turns a 12x6 prop with ease....it is effortless'

RCV91-CD

'I've been flying R/C for 40 years! Your RCV91-CD is by far the best engine I and any of our club members have ever experienced! P. Bidwell, USA

'The best engine I ever bought. This is my second engine. I will be buying more in the future, keep up the good work R. Boutwell, USA

'my friend has just put two RCV91CD's in a KMP B25, and he says its the best engine he's ever had. He has been a modeler for over 30 years now so that says a lot' M. Town, USA

'my Peashooter will fly 45 mins on 16 oz of fuel. Fuel savings will pay for the engine!' P. Bidwell, USA

'this superb engine is totally unfussy, uncritical and always starts first time. It's proved to be very tractable and well behaved, and I love it to bits' Alex Whittaker, Independent Review for RCM&E

'I now have 5 gallons of fuel through my 91CD.
I thought the engine was smooth during break-in. All throttle settings now produce an equally smooth engine throughout the entire throttle range.I thought the fuel economy was good during break-in. The low fuel consumption on this engine is amazing, it will run almost twice the time on the same size tank as my other two four stroke engines. I was impresssed when I first ran the engine, but even more so now. My hat is off to RCV. This is truly an exceptional product' Old Coot (RCU contributor), USA

'Very, very smooth and responsive even on its initial run...The Rolls Royce of model 4 strokes, and I've had a few (4-strokes) excellent, excellent, excellent' J. Larter UK

'your 91CD solved a problem no other 4-stroke could solve. I built my Jenny 13 yrs ago & had 100+ flights (at sea level) with a 70 4-stroke. After moving to Colorado (with 7000' elevation), the Jenny wouldn't get off the ground. The RCV91CD was the only 90 4-stroke engine that would fit in without cutting a hole in the scale cowling. I flew the Jenny last week, it flew with more than enough power. Thanks for a good product and a good service' J. Maguire, USA

'the hurricane performs beautifully, the main reason for choosing the 91CD was its size' I. Redshaw, UK

'It has much less vibration and better fuel economy than the FS91 I had in the airplane previously' D. Pope, USA

'I have a 58CD and 60SP flying. Out of the eight 4-cycle engines I currently have (2 Saito and 4 Magnum) the RCV's are my clear favourites' B. Crister, USA

& runs all day' J. Edstrom, USA
