RE: MVVS/Evo 26 with Tuned Pipe
I know STG was saying that most Funtana's come in around 6 lbs. bare and people are getting fewer RPM's than you, but there are so many factors that affect the engine's performance. I'm going to keep my Funtana/ Evolution 26 as light as possible. I have a HItec 5945MG that i'm going to use on the rudder just simply because I have it. The rest of the servo's will probably be Hitec 5475's (1.41 oz). I'm just going to go with the MVVS/Evolution brand tuned pipe set up. I'll get some CF gear to increase prop clearance though. And if the Funtana has a 1" tube, I have one of those in CF to. It all boils down to the fact that I would like a small gasser for when I don't feel like messing with my Edge. I know someone compared all up weights for a Saito 150 vs. the 26 and the 26 would be overall 3 oz. lighter. I think I can get it to swing some good RPM's to. What an engine turns on the ground is less than what it can turn in the air.
