Status: offline 		airborne,

We are hoping to convey the amount of effort and testing that went into this development before we released to market.  We've been working on this project in particular for 2 1/2 years.

They are our design, they are not in fact imported but manufactured according to our standards.  That's why we back them by our name - Evolution.

Thanks.

I called yesterday to check on the estimated time of the backorder and the gentleman that helped me on the phone said hopefully by the end of the week. I sure hope so........

Tiger 60 was actually built to fly with a .46-.60 2 stroke, I bet it would fly just fine.

Status: offline 		Well, I hope I won't be disappointed! I was tempted to wait and see what other's "real world results" were first, but I took the plunge and ordered one from Horizon today. It should be here Friday and mounted on an airplane in time for Sunday flying! Wx permitting, of course...

Status: offline 		Again, an ignition BEC might be the best bet here. I have not been brave enough to try one yet, but there is one hanging on my board in the shop. It seems another move I will make this off season is to start converting to Lifepo or A123 batteries. Should be a good combo with the IBEC. There just will not be enough room in my plane for all that stuff otherwise. Kinda wonder what size tank is recommended?

Status: offline 		 The ignition that comes with this engine is 2s LiPo or LiFe ready and there is no need for a voltage regulator. We have been doing most of our testing with a 2s LiFe battery almost exclusively for its size, price and convenience.

Status: offline 		I just might have to set up my trusty old TF Contender with one of these engines. The Contender was originally designed for a .60 but flies fine on a .46FX. This new 10cc might be just the ticket!

Hey Pete, how would two of these engines fly a 80 inch KMP cl 215. This could be the end of nitro for me excepy for the cottage Hawk Pro Heli.

I think that a pair of these on the CL215 would fly awesome.  A couple of bigger three bladed props (12 x 6 or so) would keep the rpm down and the resulting sound would be great.  Have fun and post some pictures if you go this way.
