RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence
Hello guys,
this is Götz (Gotz in case the forum software magles the umlaut again) from Vogelsang Aeroscale. Thank you for your kind words and patience the past few weeks, it has been very much appreciated.
I just returned from Toledo and wanted to share a few updates with you:
We have the Moki S5-180 (S180) now in stock.
The S7-250s are scheduled to come in late May.
But the news that I am most exciting about: we are working on a new (non-Moki and 100% purpose build) ignition system which will throw a stronger spark (which we can now afford being on 2.4GHz) and go into burst-mode on startup. Meaning two things: it will be a breeze to start your 5 cylinder Moki radial but more importantly: It will force rich cylinders (#3 and sometimes #4) into submission and get even the old style S150s to run, something that all the modifications except for a complete conversion were not able to achieve to this day.
Performance: we see up to 300rpm gained on high! This is not simply 7% more RPM, this is a lot of power gained, far in excess of 7%. I am very excited about this and in combination with our Turbulators this will be THE performance upgrade - period.
Hope all is well,
Götz
