Additional RCV60-SP Photos

John's flys at RCV Engines local club - Wimborne Model Aero Club.  This engine/plane combination was designed to increase his experience prior to installing the engine in a more advanced scale model.  He states that 'so far the model has performed very well and has a sparkling turn of speed but it is quite stable and controllable on the approach and landing'

This model aircraft was originally a tricycle gear but has been converted to a 'tail dragger'.  A new landing gear has been installed to accommodate the larger propellers.  Both a 16x10 2-blade and 13.4x13.5 3-blade prop have been used and both provide good thrust. (A Higley hub is attached to the crank shaft)

RCV always recommend their SP series engines are run in for at least 1 hour on a solid test stand before installing in a plane.
