The horsepower of the RCV60SP is about average for a .60 cu. in. engine. What differs is the gearing of the output. This allows it to swing a larger propeller at half the usual speed. In general, the larger prop translates into more efficient operation.
It stands to reason that the engine must develop more torque in order to swing the bigger prop. So, the vibration effects of the torque would be greater than other engines of the same displacement. I don't know of any 60 sized engines being made today that recommend use of a 16X12 propellor. Vibration is on a par with a 120 running at half throttle.
