RCGF 60cc Twin Cylinder Gas Engine for RC Airplanes 7HP Low Vibration Smooth Power
Hero Section: The Smoothness You’ve Been Waiting For
If you have ever flown a large-scale aircraft with a single-cylinder engine, you know the struggle: the vibration that rattles the airframe, loosens screws, and threatens delicate electronics. Enter the RCGF 60cc Twin. This engine is the perfect solution for pilots who demand the power of a 60cc class engine but crave the silky-smooth operation of a horizontally opposed "boxer" configuration. Imagine taxiing your warbird or aerobat to the runway, the engine purring with a deep, realistic exhaust note, and the airframe sitting perfectly still. It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a transformation of your flying experience.
Why Choose the RCGF 60cc Twin?
- Vibration Cancellation: The defining feature of this engine is its horizontally opposed design. As both pistons fire outward simultaneously, they cancel out the primary vibrations. This means less wear and tear on your airframe, longer servo life, and a much smoother flight.
- The Perfect 50cc-60cc Upgrade: Many 50cc planes can accommodate this twin. By upgrading, you don't just get more power (7HP); you get the prestige and sound of a multi-cylinder engine without a massive weight penalty.
- Reliability is Standard: Frustration at the field is a thing of the past. Equipped with a genuine Walbro carburetor, this engine offers easy starting, consistent fuel flow, and a linear throttle response that gives you confidence in low-and-slow maneuvers.
- A Gift That Resonates: For the RC enthusiast, unboxing a twin-cylinder engine is a special moment. The mechanical beauty of the dual cylinders and the promise of that unique sound make it an unforgettable gift for fathers, husbands, or flying partners.
Technical Highlights: Engineering Excellence
- Efficient Thermal Management: The dual cylinders feature precision-machined cooling fins that maximize surface area. Combined with the air-cooled crankcase, this design effectively dissipates heat, ensuring consistent performance even during high-stress 3D hovering or long scale flights.
- Advanced Ignition: The included DC-CDI system is high-voltage compatible (6-14V) and features auto-advance timing. This ensures a rock-steady idle at 1400rpm and smooth acceleration to the 8600rpm redline.
- Durable Construction: Built with a piston valve design and high-quality metal alloys, the RCGF 60cc is engineered to withstand the rigors of gasoline combustion while maintaining tight tolerances for maximum compression.

Usage Scenario: The Scale Experience
It’s a calm Saturday afternoon. You are prepping your 88-inch wingspan Yak or Mustang. You flip the prop, and the RCGF 60cc Twin catches life instantly. Instead of the harsh "pop-pop-pop" of a single cylinder, you hear a smooth, throaty drone. As you take off, the sound is unmistakably realistic. The power delivery is linear, pulling the plane through large loops effortlessly. Your friends at the field comment on how "scale" it sounds and how smooth the plane looks in the air. That shared appreciation is what the hobby is all about.
Important Tips from the Expert
- Propeller Choice: For 3D flying, a 24x8 propeller provides excellent low-end bite and braking. For faster sport flying or warbirds, a 23x10 is often the ideal choice.
- Cowl Airflow: Twin cylinders need good airflow. Ensure your cowl has baffles to force air over the fins, and that the air exit hole is at least 3 times larger than the intake to draw hot air out.
- Break-In: Treat the engine gently for the first few gallons. Use a high-quality synthetic 2-stroke oil at 30/1. A patient break-in rewards you with a long-lasting, powerful engine.
