Norvel AX-40 R/C Revlite
The NORVEL AX-40 .40 2-stroke engine is ideally suited for a variety of R/C aircraft
including trainer, sports aerobatic, scale and club racing. The AX-40 features all aluminum cylinder piston set, based on
NORVEL's popular Revlite technology. By eliminating the heavy brass
cylinder liner, NORVEL engineers lower engine weight by more than 20%.
A lighter airplane, even a few ounces lighter, has lower wing loading,
which means slower landing speeds, tighter turns, and better inverted
flight and aerobatics. In addition, a special military cylinder/piston
coating, called SliktekTM, reduces friction and improves fuel efficiency by over 20%
while delivering comparable power.
