Since the release of the Evolution® 10GX small-block engine, countless modelers have discovered the benefits of gas power in aircraft formerly dominated by the .40-size glow engine or burdened with expensive 40-class electric power systems. This new gas engine is so easy to use, even beginners with no engine experience are getting into the thrill engine-powered models offer. But what about the pilots who enjoy even larger airplanes in the .61- to .91-size range?
Evolution continues to bring the fuel efficiency and easy operation of running gas to your sport flying experience with the new 15GX small-block gas engine. It’s been designed with a standard beam mount and case dimensions that allow it to fit anywhere you might use a .61- to .91-size glow engine. It’s also remarkably lightweight, even with the ignition system and battery. What sets the 15GX apart from its nitro-fueled counterparts is its phenomenal fuel efficiency. You will burn 30% of the fuel you would with a comparably sized glow engine and lower your cost per flight by 90% on average.
Key Features:
> Lightweight construction based on the Evolution 61NX glow engine
> Designed from the ground up specifically for RC use
