RCS Engines SV-17H
This is my first RCS engine - the 17cc SV-17H. I've only have ran this engine on the stand, and so far it seems to run really well. I've tested two different props: 14x8 APC and 15X6 Xoar. With both props engine surpassed manufactures claimed top rpm, even though I was not pushing it and it was still running rich for brake in. The 14x8 ran at 8200rpm, and the 15x6 at 7900rpm. Considering small size of the motor, and being gas, which will produce less power then nitro, that's pretty good.
So far the only thing I've noticed is that it is nearly impossible to prime the engine just by flipping the prop, so the first start can be a pain if you do not have a starter. Other then that, no complains...
