Single-cylinder engines
EZ50 and EZ77 are the smallest engines in the Kolm Engines product range. They are suitable for warbirds and scale models, as well as for aerobatic models with a take-off weight of up to 16 kg. They can be equipped with an electric starter, which makes them suitable also for motor gliders. Thanks to their lean design, they fit even underneath small bonnets. They are thus the perfect drives for multi-engine airplanes and motor gliders.
Flat engines
Flat engines were specially developed for towplanes and aerobatic airplanes with a take-off weight of up to 50 kg. The reliability of these engines has been established over many years of practice tests. When combined with compact silencers, flat engines become “whisper drives”. Additional electric starters make them world-class drive units.
In-line engines
The in-line engines by Kolm Engines GmbH in Attnang-Puchheim were specially developed for warbirds and scale models with a take-off weight of up to 60 kg. We specialize in RC engines. Our engine versions range from 100 to 310 cm³, covering a vast spectrum of models. To help our customers with installation, we have compiled a comprehensive documentation on “Installing and cooling in-line engines”.

Pitts Challenger II
Altough there are many different four stroke engines you can buy for your airplane, there is nothing quite like a Kolm. The Kolm engine has a rawness about it with regards to power and sound, but yet is a beautifully refined and reliable engine. I own two of these engines now andabsolutely love them. If a powerhouse with a dirty sound is what you are looking for buy a Kolm Engine.
