Rossi R65 RV ABC Drum Valve

[David Bryant]

From Flying Models Magazine, February 1985, Review: Rossi R65 RV Drum Valve Ducted Fan engine.

Thought I'd post it here as these engines cross-over to the respective marine version as well, and were very popular. Only difference is the oversized heat-sink head assy. Otherwise all parts and timing specs are equivalent to marine version (which included combination head & cylinder water cooling).

Had a blue head Rossi 65 Marino from that era... was one of the best, most reliable

engines we ever had. Never had any of the supposed 'issues' people have mentioned

with it.

yes, these engines were work-horses
