i have this engine too it seems to start after a while then it won't cut off if anybody reading this thread is considering to get an MDS save your self teh hassle and look into the quality engines like o.s., saito, thunder tigre

I agree. I'm about ready to trash mine. I don't think the Russians were known for the quality of their engines.

I just got back into the hobby recently after a 20 year hiatis and have a Hanger9 Xtra Easy RTF circa 2000 with a MDS 40 PRO engine. The plane is great and I wish they still sold them, but the engine has been nothing but trouble. I'm fine with the flying part of the equation, but I have to run mine at full throttle in the air because I can't guarantee that it'll stay running if you pull the throttle to idle. When I turn final and idle the engine I know that I'm committed to landing. I'm gonna get a old OS 40 FX or maybe an old K&B 40 for this plane and be done with it.
