Arrived this morning from Ukraine. A shiny new Profi K-12, the long awaited "enhanced" Oliver Tiger mk4 "replica". There's also a 3.2cc version.

Default K12

Lovely engine and ship Ray.

Initial indications from the UK appear to confirm it is a serious contender.

Looking forward to further reports.

Mike Crossman, Ed Needham and a few others have financed a batch of 200 .15 and .19's made by Profi in Ukraine. Check out the Barton Forum for details. Price was GBP180 including postage to the east coast.

We flew mine yesterday and were getting 17400 rpm on an APC 7x6. Looks like a bit more can be squeezed out as well as it runs in. It's a replica mk4 case with a 12mm shaft as opposed to the originals 3/8". Bigger hole down the centre so it can breath at high rpm. :-)

Thanks for that, GBP 180 sounds reasonable, lets hope I get lucky and can get one. Shame I needed to sell my originals 30 years ago ....
