Where's the MDS 38 ? It's fantastic for holding down the corner of big plans!!!

I like the look of your extreme speed props Phil. Thought you would be a PSS nut, being in Cornwall?

the MDS was only fast in my design, its useless anywhere else but a Combat Delta
i did have a PSS, but it sucked, we have EPP combat wings which are fantastic down here, 50MPH of St Agnes head, can hardly stand up

Dub Jett makes a Jett FIRE 45 & pipe that is faster than the Jett 50.
It's not posted on his web page, but just ask Dub for the fastest engine with throttle control for a Diamond Dust.

Default Oh they sell them...

And there are a few people who can't figure out the Rossi...most of them are used to running true powerhouses like the MDS...

Here is a review:

They sell them as well.

Default no MVVS GRRT?

where the MVVS GRRT? you don't see these in magazines as much as others but they are really strong engines also. Don't forget about the GRRT

Yeah that's right. What's all this stuff about Rossi being a sorry Italian engine that won't throttle? I have a .45 and it accelerates instantaneously and idles really low reliably, not to mention the awesome power it has.
