RCGF 60cc BM Single Cylinder 2 Stroke Gasoline Engine | 6.0HP High Torque Motor for 50cc-60cc Scale Warbirds & Aerobatics
Hero Section: The Reliable Heavyweight Champion
In the world of 50cc to 60cc giant scale aircraft, reliability is king. The RCGF 60cc BM Edition is designed to be the rugged heart of your favorite airframe. Unlike lightweight racing engines, the BM edition features a robust, reinforced cast structure designed for longevity and thermal stability. Delivering a solid 6.0HP at 7500 RPM, it provides the grunt and low-end torque needed to haul large scale Warbirds into the sky or pull 3D planes out of a hover with authority. It’s not just an engine; it’s a lifetime investment in your hangar.
Why Choose The RCGF 60cc BM?
- Built for Durability
Weighing in at 1443g, the BM edition carries a bit more mass than the CNC version, and that’s a good thing. The thicker crankcase walls and robust cooling fins absorb vibration and heat more effectively, making it the perfect choice for Warbirds that need nose weight and engines that last for hundreds of flights.
- The "Gold Standard" Fuel System
Frustration-free flying starts here. Equipped with a genuine Walbro Carburetor and NGK-CM6 Spark Plug, this engine solves the common headaches of cheap clones. It offers a stable, rhythmic idle at 1500 RPM and transitions instantly to full power without sputtering.
- Torque Over Speed
While some engines chase screaming high RPMs, the RCGF 60cc BM focuses on usable torque. It spins large props (up to 24x9) with ease, generating 15kg (33 lbs) of static thrust. This means you have power "down low" where you need it most for takeoffs and vertical maneuvers.
Technical Highlights: Precision Engineering
- DC-CDI Ignition System: The included DC-CDI module (6V-8.4V) features automatic timing advance. It reads the engine's RPM in real-time and adjusts the spark timing to ensure maximum combustion efficiency and easy hand-starting.
- Piston Valve Design: The classic 2-stroke piston valve design is used for its simplicity and reliability. With fewer moving parts than rotary valve engines, it offers consistent performance and easier maintenance.

Usage Scenario: The Scale Warbird Sortie
You are flying a heavy 1/5 scale P-51 Mustang. It needs a reliable engine that won't quit. You flip the prop, and the RCGF 60cc BM fires up with a deep, throaty idle. As you advance the throttle for takeoff, the high torque swings the large 24x8 propeller effortlessly. The plane lifts off with scale realism. During a high-G loop, the engine holds its RPM perfectly, the Walbro carb feeding fuel consistently despite the G-forces. You land with confidence, the engine ticking over cool and steady.
Important Tips & Expert Advice
- Propeller Selection:
- For 3D Aerobatics (Instant spool-up): Use a 23x8 or 23x10.
- For Scale/Warbirds (Speed and momentum): Use a 22x10 or 24x8.
- Break-In is Crucial: Run the engine on the ground for at least 40 minutes (in short bursts with cooling periods) using a rich oil mix (30:1) and non-synthetic oil. This seats the piston ring to the cylinder wall for maximum compression later.
- Vibration Management: Since this is a powerful single-cylinder engine, use high-quality thread locker (Blue Loctite) on all engine mounting bolts and verify they are tight after the first few flights.
