Miss the old days. Those rebuild videos were great. Loved to listen to Blaz explain what he was doing and Robert's comments . Thanks for the great morning coffee treat and taking me back in time! Best to you and your families. Big salute from Chicago! Oh yeaaah!
Great video, can’t wait to get my Saito in the air and experience the gas plane, Blaz , wish I had you here for instruction, thanks for sharing my friends 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Greetings from Arkansas USA. Captain Blaz you are a gas engine genius. Love to watch and hear those engines fly, especially the moki. I just don't have the technical ability for gas engines. Great video guys. SALUTE👍❤
Thank you very much for this video! There is nothing bad about electric engines but to hear the sound and get the smell of a glow engine can't be replaced by anything. Those of us who started with RC model flying many, many years before have so many memories about this and connect emotions that this heritage is worth to keep. You are doing a very good job with this! Waiting for more 🤩
Capt. Blaz, no doubt you are a very good mechanic, AWESOME! Very interesting engine, I can't wait till the day it will be in the air. Thank you very much for the video boys. Regards, George
Look at Dis 😍. Capt Blaz you have this Old Man pulling out my 4-Stroke engines and testing. I have 5 planes with 4-Stroke engines not flown almost 20 years. Got 2 ready for some good weather. Do love me some Brothers. ✈️😎💝💝
A very interesting Engine, I have never seen one here in South Africa after 23 years in the Hobby. I did not realise that it was exactly the same concept as used in the British Bristol Centaurus engine. I really battled to get my small brain to understand exactly how it works - thanks for showing this again Captain Blaz
Ideal for planes with a relatively narrow cowl. I've seen one of these and I'm told they get a bit warm, so some cooling holes perhaps? Lovely sound! Big salute as ever from London.
Oh My Gosh!!! This is the first time for me hearing the "RCV SP 120 four stroke" singing!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing this "Joyous Noise"... almost as pretty as my singing! hee hee. You two are THE BEST! S A L U T E! OHHHHHH YEAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhh! lol
So neat! Please film more engines for us. As an electric guy, I love seeing these engines restored and run. Even better when powering an airplane in flight!
Nice match up, should be a great performing model. Very envious I've been wanting one of those engines force very long time. With love from little New Zealand
I'm very happy to see that you have decided to use that RCV engine on an aircraft. Although I mounted it, I never had the guts to fly it. I just know it will fly that Tucano perfectly and you should be getting a bunch of likes on your wonderful channel, All the luck in the world to you.
Great sound from the sleeve valve engine Captain Blaz I too run one for ground running demonstration but it’s a 38ltr Hercules 👍😎 I can’t wait for you to fly the Tucano with the sleeve valve👍
Ah what a treat! Here we see the Engine Dr in his natural environment 😂 This was really interesting to hear about putting excessive oil in to store the engine! Great advice 👌🛩️🇸🇮❤️🏴👍
‘Blaz talk and I will be quiet” Really? REALLY? Now Robert - after all theses years, do you REALLY expect us to believe that you will be quiet ? (2 seconds latter we find out!) of course the interaction is what we love. Capt Blaz - your passions for the hobby is demonstrated by the genuine and huge smile you wear in dis vido! The love you two display - for the hobby as well as each other brings happiness into my heart. Sending big o salute from Michigan! Now everyone “click” on something already!
Yessss finally some nitro smokes in the hangar. Captain Blaž knows his thing on the engines for sure and always gets them to run easily. The RCV is something special and ideal for us rc friends because it can take a bigger prop, lower rev and be more scale like on a warbird. Well let’s wait and see the maiden of this plane / engine combination. It will be breathtaking I’m sure!
Cool! I didn't know there was a model engine that worked like a Bristol Centaurus. Even in the full scale Sea Furies you're more likely to see a Wright 3350 or a Pratt & Whitney Wasp stuffed under the cowl. You guys are the best because Pilot Robert is more about the the newer electric "buy & fly" side and Captain Blaz is more the traditional glow and balsa. Thanx for another great video!👍😝
The BIG smile on Blass's face for the nitro! I don't know if you know these engines need some duct inside the cowl to push air over the fins of the engine for extra cooling when the bird is flying, it's a bit more building but better for reliability. Keep the nitro coming. Salute Capt!
Well my friends in my opinion this is the most sexy beautiful bird I have seen really .. I can t wait to see this beauty fly. Thank you master technician of the engine blaz & pilot and narrator Robert .....
Very nice video! Salute to you my friends! Look at 5:53 the nut which is at the bottom right started to unscrew😂. I think this is a strange but very interesting engine with a great sound! @all Have a wonderful next week and all the best!
The AMAL carburetors on the old British motorcycles had a button on the float bowl. You would press this button down until petrol dripped out of the carburetor!
Good luck with the RCV i have a 120 never had any luck with the one i have it always ran very hot and could never keep the muffler from falling off so keep a eye on it.
Capt Blaz please use the two Exhaust port in the Plane .You can make a exhaust come up and go though those two exhaust pipes. That would be Cool. You can do it . Greg of Ohio
I still remember the magazine article from when they were new. Back when magazines were still worthy to be read, today they are more or less advert brochures for the newest chinese foam planes. It sounds quite like a 2-stroke, maybe because of the rotary valve? Well, I should go flying again as soon as the field reopens, at the moment you have to book 2-hour slots and can only meet with one person and not socialize (for obvious reasons) instead of ranting all the time. At least your channel shows me that there are still plenty of real modellers around. Take my likes! Would give you 1000 if I could.
Awwww yes, some Nitro fumes on a Saturday morning. Captain Blaz, with your metal shop, could you not make a exhaust that would come out of the exhausts of the plane? Reminds me of when I used to work in a metal shop 🥶. Great video guys 👍🏻
Dont forget a very important issue with these engines, and this is the temperature, they run very warm, be sure to make air outlets in your engine cowl
Question - does the piston turn with the cylinder or does the piston have a normal wrist pin ? Does it have a ball and socket joint in the piston like the Cox small engines ? I heard they run hot .
very nice! it seems this engine's power to weight ratio would be higher than the conventional 4 stroke push rod type engine because its more compact and less moving parts! great stuff, almost as good as the wankel rotary in performance I guess.
Just a note re this engine at the Beginning of the engine being started, You may have noticed the mounting bolts the on on the right lock nut undoing itself,I had my engine mounted in a 20ccc size Westland Wyvern. And any & every nut & bolt not locktited came loose & worse the wing had wing bolts front and rear, the two on the right side unscrewed during the flight, despite being very tight , noticing the daylight though the gap, the plane was landed intact ONLY because the very large wing fairing stopped the wing rotating completely off .. My engine when first started sounded very clattery., takes a fair bit of running in but does produce a lot of power ..
I believe it was used in the Hawker Sea Fury. They had some reliability problems I think. Nevertheless a great concept! Do you know if there are building plans for this? I would build one! Trying to tackle a 5 cylinder radial from "Jung" plans now. Grtz.
I have the 60 version of that engine and have problems keeping it running as it gets very hot and getting air to flow around it takes some ducting engineering .
Hi guys look like c-blaz is going to fire up a engine to test out.are you going to put on that plane we are looking at. can not wait to see it fly so you guys have a very good day. Ray
