R/C flyers adore engines, they always will, and for many, two-strokes are still the preferred choice, particularly in the quality mid-range club sector where, of course, the ubiquitous .46 .52 has so many uses. Well, as luck would have it, recent demand has encouraged Force Engines to step up and produce this beautifully-made single-cylinder, front induction, ABC, R/C glow engine.
Sporting a crisp and clean, bead blasted, black anodised crankcase, robust one-piece crankshaft supported on a front (sealed) and rear (open) bearing the Force 52 offers reassuring longevity with its aluminium alloy piston and hard chrome-plated brass liner, the latter schnuerle ported for improved efficiency and power. Add a proven twin-needle carburettor, substantial high-volume silencer, cast high-grip knurled prop driver and impressive rpm range and you have a perfect, and rather eye-catching, R/C sport aero engine for a variety of propeller sizes in the popular 10 x 8 to 12 x 6 bracket.
