We had a couple show up in trainers this spring and all them suffered major brown outs. Planes were grounded until RX was replaced. Total junk and unsafe.

RE: RCGF Engines
Cooling may be a problem I agree. I have built in some cooling ducks in the top cowl to flow air around the back of the cylinders. The lower cowl has two large openings in the front and a large opening in the rear to get rid of the hot air. I will be takeing temp. reading for several flights to see if I need to open up the air intakes. Thanks Ron
