New NGH Engines – 35R and GT9 Gas Engines

NGH is a Chinese Manufacturer of very high quality small gasoline engines. Converting from glow to gas for smaller planes is now very feasible. The engines have been in existence for a few years and have been proven winners.

The GT9 is a 9cc, .52 cu in gas engine which is light weight and very powerful. It can be used on .40 to .52 sized airplanes normally using glow engines.

The GT9 is more reliable due to the spark plug instead of glow plug. It uses a 10x6 to 12x6 prop.

It weighs just over a pound including an IBEF (sold separately) to power the ignition.

The NGH 35R is a proven engine with a proven design. There are many videos of the engine in action on YouTube. We have run the engine ourselves with great success.

New TBM Power System for Gas Airplanes up to 60cc

POWER SYSTEM FOR GAS AIRPLANES UP TO 60cc

Order the system and save! We recommend the TBM Power System for gas airplanes with electronic ignitions up to 60cc in size. This system contains redundant LiIon batteries with a redundant failsafe switch with regulator.

Included with the TBM Power System is a pin and flag switch system to provide the ultimate in realism for your plane. The charge jack does not show. A pin with a red flag which states “remove before flying” replaces the usual charge slider switch. Included is the Wike RC IBEF (Ignition Battery Eliminator Filter) which provides a remote, isolated switch, and provides ignition power from the receiver battery. The IBEF combined with two receiver batteries provides backup power for the receiver and the ignition for higher reliability.

The TBM Power System has enough energy for about six 15 minute flights depending on your flying style and size of airplane. We highly recommend this system for any plane up to 60cc for high reliability and scale appearance.

    The TBM Power System includes:

  • Smart-Fly Failsafe Switch for SuperReg and TurboReg - (QFSSWITCH_PIN_FLAG)
    One of the best switches available. It is failsafe, so a failure goes to the on position. Has 22ga wire. Uses a pin and flag or slider to turn it on and off.

  • Qty 2 - TBM Ultra Power Li-Ion 2800 mah Pack with JR, Deans and Balance Plugs - (AH2CDLIION)
    TBM's new Ultra Power 2 Cell 2800 Li-Ion battery comes with both a Jr and Deans plug. New for 2011 is a balance plug for the new Hitec X4 charger.

  • WRC Wike R/C Products IBEF Ignition Battery Eliminating Filter v2.1 - (WRCIBEFV2)
    The Wike R/C IBEF Battery Ignition Eliminator Filter saves the weight of an ignition battery and provides a IMAA required transmitter controlled ignition kill switch. The IBEF is designed to be plugged into the receiver and run the ignition from the receiver batteries or power system. This simplifies charging by only having to charge receiver batteries. The IBEF also has a high efficiency switching regulator that provides power the ignition and also some very good filters that prevent noise and interference from the ignition system from getting back into the receiver.

  • MPI 5-6.5V Miracle Switch MKII Voltage Regulator Switch - (MPIRM6N)
    This electronic Miracle Switch replaces the regular mechanical switch and includes a built in voltage regulator. Under normal condition, the switch functions like a regular switch. However, when the switch or its wires fail, the current continues to flow. The only way to turn it off under this condition is to disconnect the Rx battery pack.

New TBM DLE Engines Silencers!

Having a noise problem at your field using the stock muffler on your DLE 20, DLE 30 or DLE 55cc gas engine?
Don't have the room or money to install a header and canister setup?
Then we have the solution!


Available in three different sizes, the DLE Muffler Silencers work very well. They decrease the noise level noticeably without compromising the top end performance or increase the cylinder head temperatures excessively. There is a loss of a few hundred rpm at full throttle. Obviously there is only a slight performance decrease, and this is only at full throttle. Most of the time, the engine is not at full throttle, so the general performance of the aircraft is not compromised much. With AMA and flying fields looking for alternative methods to lower the noise of RC planes the Muffler Silencers may be just what you have been looking for. This is a simple alternative which is low cost and extremely easy to add compared to canister mufflers, converting to 4-stroke engines, or converting to electric motors.
Extremely easy to install. You may press fit the silencer in place and then use the included silicone tubing and cable ties to secure it, or drill a hole and install a screw instead of using the tubing.

DLE 20 Muffler Silencer - $27.99 - INTRO PRICE $20.00!
DLE 30 Muffler Silencer - $28.99 - INTRO PRICE $20.00!
DLE 55/111 Muffler Silencer - $35.99 - INTRO PRICE $20.00!


See below for simple installation!

Desert Aircraft DA-60 Gas Engine!

Desert Aircraft DA-60 NEW Gas Engine

After a long wait, the new Desert Aircraft DA-60 engines have been released and now in stock at Troy Built Models! A perfect power upgrade for any 50cc aircraft! The Desert Aircraft DA-60 is the latest high performance offering from Desert Aircraft for planes in the 50cc to 70cc class.

Our first shipment sold out quick! Call in to put yours on order/backorder!

The Desert Aircraft reed valve and Walbro carburetor are well matched, providing consistent engine performance at all flight attitudes and throttle settings. Throttle and choke arms are pre-installed.

The engine delivers superb performance while maintaining excellent structural integrity. The rigid integral engine mount and robust, well balanced crankshaft ensure smooth operation. Depending on firewall location, the engine can be mounted without stand offs or spacers, which further eliminates vibration.

The DA60 with its integral mount weighs less than the DA50 with standoff mounts, and shows lower vibration levels than the DA50. With equal props, the DA60 out turns the DA50 by 600+ rpm!

The crankcase is CNC machined from 7075 T6 alloy, while titanium is used for the prop shaft extension. The exhaust port shape lends itself well to standard style mufflers or tuned exhaust systems that use round headers. This is the same cylinder and piston as used on the well proven DA120 twin.

As with all Desert Aircraft engines, each DA60 is thoroughly test ran at the factory before shipping.

Check out the new DA-60 on our webpage for more details!

New TBM Gas Engine Velocity Stacks!

TBM Velocity Stack, Large, Solid Billet CNC machined from T6 alloy, red anodize

NEW! TBM Velocity Stacks!

TBM is committed to providing quality products and these new Velocity Stacks are no exception.

They are CNC machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum and are finished in a brilliant red anodize.

A Velocity Stack can improve your engines overall performance by increasing throttle response and peak power.

It captures more air, speeds it up and straitens it out to pack more air/fuel mixture in to your engine. Slight increases in mixture settings may be required.

You may also attach a piece of screen material or aluminum mesh to the end of the bell for additional protection against ingestion of foreign debris.

A velocity stack will only work effectively with a proper running engine and is in no way a fix for erratic engine behavior.

Depending on your engines carburetor and mounting block arrangement, special length bolts may be required.

TBM Velocity Stacks are engineered to use 5mm carburetor mounting bolts.
