I have an MDS .48 on the way. I have read many many negative posts about MDS engines. I believe that any engine, regardless of manufacture, should run well if it is set up according to the manufacturers instructions. I have run engines of many different manufacturers over the years and have not yet found one that did not run well if the instructions were followed. Granted there are tips here and there that will make any engine perform better. This engine is to be installed in my Direct Connection F-20. This kit was framed some years ago, but is now ready for the air. I would like to know if anyone has run this engine with a tuned pipe. If so, what was your prop choice and why. How does it perform? I am also thinking of using onboard glow for 1/4 throttle to idle just for reliability. I will consider and appreciate all of your input.

Thanks,
Tony
