KAVAN four-stroke engines are an excellent choice for any „Sunday flyer’s“ sporty, aerobatic and - more than anything - scale model aircraft. Reliable operation and very easy running-in and fine-tuning make them, in the best sense of the word, „consumer’s“ engines that everybody who loves the beautiful, deep “puffing” sound can afford to buy and fly. Given adequate care and maintenance, they will reliably power your models for many years to come.
