Description

The 7-cylinder 160CC radial engine is a compact yet powerful solution designed for scale model aircraft builders seeking a balance of performance, realism, and reliability. With its 7-cylinder radial configuration, the engine delivers an authentic vintage appearance and smooth, balanced performance, making it ideal for museum-quality replicas, RC warbirds, and large-scale aviation models.

Featuring a 160CC displacement, this engine offers strong power output while maintaining a lightweight form factor. It comes fully equipped and ready to run, including an exhaust collector ring, spark plugs, an electronic ignition system, and a durable engine mount. User-friendly choke and throttle bellcranks simplify the installation process and enhance control, ensuring a hassle-free setup for builders of all experience levels.

The engine is meticulously crafted using CNC-machined components from aluminum or bar stock to guarantee consistent precision and repeatability. Its cylinder heads and crankcases are made from aircraft-grade aluminum alloys, delivering excellent structural integrity without excessive weight—essential for optimal flight dynamics.

Internally, the engine is engineered for durability and long-term reliability. A heavy-duty double-bearing crankshaft supports stable high-RPM operation. Billet aluminum pistons paired with hardened steel rings ensure smooth combustion and minimal wear. The hard-chromed and lapped cylinder bores enhance wear resistance and efficiency, while hardened steel cams offer precise and durable valve timing for prolonged performance in demanding environments.

Designed to run on commonly available 87–110 octane gasoline with a 32:1 gas-to-oil mixture, the engine provides both versatility and efficiency. Its combination of scale realism, advanced materials, and modern engineering makes it a standout choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike who demand premium quality in a smaller radial engine package.

Whether for flying or static display, this engine offers an excellent blend of aesthetics, power, and long-lasting performance.
