Thanks

Status: offline 		It has been a few years since someone brought one to our field but the ones I remember were pretty easy to set up. There was a group of .40's that showed up about the same time and all ran well. Only one ate a bearing and was replaced free of charge. Who sells them now?

Status: offline 		I'm getting ready to set one up a .40 in a Su-Do-Khoi... it has a mini tuned pipe and is reported to be an excellent runner... I'll let you know...

Status: offline 		I've got an MVVS .21 on my Combat Gremlin and it is a screamer!! It is as fast or faster than the guys flying similar planes with O.S. FX .25's. So far, it has been very reliable. been in at least three violent mid-airs and I've had to replace the needle valve once as a result. Transition is INSTANT! Like a factory tuned two-stroke dirt bike! I have a NIB MVVS .26 combat wombat that I am going to strap on in the spring. They are made to run on 0% nitro, but you can shim them and run them on up to 15%. My .21 is shimmed and runs great on the nitro, but I ordered some 0% and am going to try that right out of the box with my .26. If it doesn't like that, I will try the shims and my 15%. Hope you have the same luck that I've had!!

Status: offline 		I broke in my MVVS .40 yesterday.... It pulled a 10x6 prop at 14,000 rpm and a 10x4 prop at 16,000. I'm going to get a 10x5 apc prop for it when I mount it on my Su-Do-Khoi.

Throttle transition was awesome!! soo smooth and idles better that anything else I own. I hope it has enough poop for a 3 1/2 lb. plane.

Status: offline 		I had an MVVS .40 on a Su-Du-Koi and it was great..hovers very well.... Getting used to the very fast transision took a little bit, but very nice...they don't do there best till they are broken in. It may seem a little fusy at first, don't get discouraged..all it has to do is break in.

Status: offline 		How much did your SuDoKhoi weigh? Do you have any pictures? Did you make any modifications?

Status: offline 		are you sure they are light? they are regarded as heavy in our club, but.. nearly every quick plane runs a tuned 40, and no pistons and liners replaced so far, even after months of running if you decide to change the exhause direction. i have a standard 40 in my SpinSation thingy and to start it was a right **** of a pig, but after a bit of running and knocking off the second part of the muff, it now turns a 11 x 3 like it was tuned. love it, now got a PSQ 40 in my Diamond Dust.
