RCV Launch New RCV91-CD Engine
RCV Engines have been in touch with us about the launch of their
latest engine, in their CD (Crank Drive)
range.
The
RCV91-CD (0.91 cubic inches, 15 cc) continues the RCV tradition
of producing high quality, high performance engines in an extremely
low height package. Following on from the success of the RCV58-CD
engine and using the unique rotating cylinder valve technology,
the RCV91-CD is the same height as conventional .52 4-stroke engines
so should be a sure fire winner for airframes from a .46 right up
to a .91
The ultra low profile, high quality die-cast and competitive price
make the RCV91-CD the ideal 4-stroke choice for all modellers. The
SSP for the 91CD is £169 and the engine can be purchased from
many good model shops or from RCV direct. More information can be
found by visiting the WestonUK website: www.westonuk.co.uk/Rcv
This sell-out launch follows on for a very successful 2004 with
progress being made across all company divisions.
A
spokesman for RCV said Our model engine division continues
to make inroads into the model aero market with 7,000 engines now
operating in over 50 countries worldwide. The launch of the RCV91-CD
follows on from last month's multi million dollar award of a major
USA contract for the development of an ultra lightweight 4-stroke
designed for a range of specialist small engine applications.
The
RCV engine design is not just limited to the 10cc 150cc range
but has the potential for larger and smaller sizes as well as multi-cylinder
applications. Set to produce better power output compared to other
gasoline powered utility 4-strokes, and with several companies already
participating in development and technology transfer projects this
engine will certainly be seen in scooters, motorcycles and handheld
chainsaws and strimmers in the near future.
Having already completed seven years of R&D and with our current
client development program we believe the RCV design could become
the de facto small engine standard in a wide variety
of applications within the next seven to ten years. We are confident
that current and planned developments for our engine technology
will take us in to new global markets. Incorporation of RCV technology
within these applications will be through a
combination of licensing and own manufacture.
