Petrol engine for aircrafts with approx. 3 -5kg take-off weight or anywhere where a 10 -15cc glow igniter engine would normally be used. Small installation dimensions and low weight characterize the NGH GT-17 petrol engine. Due to the carburetor placed at the front, the engine is also suitable for installation under narrow bonnets. The NGH GT-17 looks at first sight like a conventional glow igniter engine, but was designed from the ground up as a petrol engine.
Special advantages:
* Particularly small, compact and powerful
* WALBRO WT series front carburettor, specially optimized for NGH GT-17
* barrel set (exchangeable)
* High-quality ball bearings
* The "best" ignition (RCEXL)
