    I too don't have the new engines in stock (MVVS says: soon), though I still do have a few of the early 2003 production. Mechanically, they are equivalent.

    Status: offline     		Do you have any of the tuned pipes for the 1.60? I already have the curved pipe that fits o the engine, I just need the tuned pipe and the coupler. If so, how much including shipping to Texas, zip code 77535?

    Status: offline     		I flew a couple more props on my red head and the Sig Cap 232.
    Top FLite power point 18x8 tached at 7200 rpm, flew the plane well, nice pull on the up lines, engine seemed to be lugging a bit, may cut this prop down to a 17.5x8

    Also tried the Top Flite pp 18x6-10, tached at 6600 rpm, plane flew a bit sluggish and engine was lugging, to much prop IMHO.
    cheers - ken k.

    Status: offline     		Several posts were skipped over when the website changed over. Here's one of mine which I just copied from the old website:

    I recently took my MVVS 1.60 off the tuned muffler and installed a KS cannister type smoke muffler. I am currently running an APC 18x8W (wide blade)prop and getting RPM measurements of 7650. I have an 18x8N that I haven't tried yet.

    Status: offline     		FYI... there is a brand new alternative 35cc gas engine out there now...

    It's $395 with mount and muffler... similar weight to the MVVS...

    This discussion is about the MVVS 1.60 (26cc) engine. The 35cc engine you are referring to is MUCH heavier and larger than the 1.60 we are talking about.

    Fair comparison ?
    Mejzlik 18-6 8800 rpm with an Abell Muffler....$380.00 from BH Hanson in Las Vegas....

    Status: offline     		My humblest apologies...

    I was just sharing some info I just found out about something new I saw... It is comparable to the MVVS 2.1 and is (after you add a muffler to the 1.6) about 16 oz. heavier... that is alot...

    FWIW, the same manufacturer has a 25cc coming soon... but I won't bother you with the details as it's not relevant to your discussion.

    Take care.

    Status: offline     		An OS 160FX spins a Mejzlik 18X6 at over 10,000 rpm. with a bisson ST 4500 muffler.

    What will the Z 26 running on gas spin an APC 18X6?

    Hi Rcsign, is there a link where we could read the spec. on that new modified Zenoah G26 please?
    18x6 at 8600RPM sounds attractive for gas engine at 2.5 pounds

    Status: offline     		The G23's / G26's are great engines like the 1.6 and each engine has it pro's and cons, and I have flown each, the mvvs has certain features that I like, such as the slimer width with the front mounted carb, lightweight out of the box with no modifications.
