This sweet running 26cc miniature
gasser makes 2.4 horsepower whilst running on 32:1 premix. Rated up to 9000 RPM, best power comes when you load it down between 7800-8500 RPM using a 16x8 through 18x6
two-blade prop. This will provide plenty of power for a variety of models. Supplied with a back-plate mount, it's simply perfect for model airplanes like a 105" wingspan
Sig J-3 Piper Cub, an 82" wingspan PT-19, or a giant scale Sportster. Also included are a muffler, four spool-type spacer mounts, plus an Allen wrench.
Note, we're occasionally asked regarding spare parts. Here's the rub, the engines are made and sold direct from China, thus limiting our ability to profit and while our products are hobby products, our business isn't a hobby. Thus, we don't see the point in buying spares, so for those who wonder, we're very sorry but it is what it is. Fortunately, this is a solid little engine and it's very reliable so unless you crash onto a concrete parking lot you're probably not going to need parts anyway!
Manufactured with a die-cast crankcase, which has been specifically engineered for modeling, the industrial-type piston and cylinder assembly delivers a long service life. In fact, expect to take up to 20-hours for a complete break-in! After that, your engine will deliver many, many seasons of pleasure and enjoyment. Moreover, when mounted on a scale model like a 105" Sig Piper J-3 Cub on floats, or WWII primary trainer like a 84" wingspan Fairchild PT-19, or even a sport acrobat with a 68" wingspan, you may expect brisk performance.
- Expect brisk performance whether mounted to a 68" wingspan aerobatic model, or 100" Cub on floats!
A compact performer, below are the critical dimensions, which you'll need to account for when laying out the installation of the engine for your model. Moreover, while the ignition module is 100% encased in metal for maximum protection fomr RF interference, if you use a typical box-type mount forward of the firewall, (like the one shown above) you'll also have where to mount the ignition system and battery.
- When planning for the installation, take these dimensions into account and you'll be very close indeed.
A very simple engine in design and construction, the secret to the success of the CRRCpro GF26I engine is the genius of combining model-engine specific components like the die-cast crankcase along with economical and durable industrial type piston/cylinder assemblies. Along with a well proven Walbro carburator for easy tuning, the resulting engine is a world beater in compact gasser performance.
- This exploded view diagram details the various parts, with part numbers, which make up the GF26I engine.
Included accessories are the ignition module, four each of the blue anodized CNC-aluminum spool-style mounts complete with Allen head bolts, washers, and blind nuts (for spacing it off the firewall), as well as a fiber-reinforced engineering-polymer velocity stack for optimal airflow, plus a T-handled Allen wrench long enough to reach past the engine to the mounting bolts. It's attention to detail - like including the Allen wrench - which have served to make CRRCpro a leader in small gasoline engine market. Meanwhile, modelers have discovered the engines deliver no-apologies performance, which is essential to become successful in the market.
