Revmaster had lots of problems with that CSU metal prop setup and canned it completely. If its direct drive stick to a wooden prop.
Very true , that was the Maloof prop to be exact, BUT and HOWEVER, those problems are with the Propellors NOT with the Revmaster engine or the ability of said engine to take other props than just wood vhpy vhpy .........i must come up for the product that i sell :twisted: :twisted:

Daar is baie geskryf op www.kr.net oor VW enjins. Die antwoord is soos Boet se. Bly weg van 3 blade props. Jy kan wel saamgestelde materiaal gebruik maar net solank dit in harmonie is.

Hi German, i have done apprx 70hrs with one of the R2300 engines(the newer version), however the company has been producing engines since 1967. I am more than satisfied with performance , bang-for-buck ratio is not to be beaten easily. We have sold 4 to date, two are flying in Bushbaby aircraft and give the same performance. As this thread is not for advertising please call me on 072 6716 240
