It was announced this morning by Horrizon Hobby that the Evolution G62EFI project has been cancelled; and will not be brought to market; disappointing news for folks who were hoping to install the G62EFI into the new H9 P-51D 60cc Mustang

David Eichstedt quote from RCU engine thread:

I have some bad news here regarding the 62GXI. After a gut-wrenching process we have decided not to bring it to market. Detailed testing under various operating conditions showed that it would not live up to our expectations for consistency, reliability, and overall ease of operation. Dealer and consumer preorders will be cancelled. The 62GX engine itself will be released in 2015 as a great-running, traditional carbureted version, so watch for an announcement hopefully around late spring. The plus side is that cancelling this project frees up some resources so we can work on bringing a variety of other engines to market. We have lots of other exciting projects in the works!
