The Top 80 Engine Made with Passion

In many years of production the Top 80 engine has gained an enviable reputation and has always remained competitive with continuous updates.
In the latest version there are some noticeable new features, e.g. the anti-corrosion anodizing of the new engine cases, that have a significant visual impact and will better protect the engine in the harshest environments. The new casings are lighter, some redesigned details and a study of internal flows have made it possible to improve the operating stability and efficiency of the engine.
The extensive use of 3D design and the creation of details with professional 3D printers was essential to produce development prototypes and supply some small but important engine components.
A new diaphragm carburetor joins the previous one, it was specially made with technical solutions that adapt to the Top 80 and is equipped with 2 screws for more accurate carburetion adjustment.
A further choice that is now accessible to all pilots is the float carburetor, which they have experimented with for many years and which has given extraordinary results in competitions.
