RE: VMAX Engine
I mounted this engine on the test stand this past weekend and run it in. I was amazingly pleased. My electric starter
has recently went bad so all I had was my chicken stick. I fueled it up and primed it, put on the glow starter and gave a few flips
and she started right up. I broke it in exactly as the manufacturers instructions said and it ran great. It will need a little more breaking
in on the plane but on the stand with the 11x5 prop it was turning at 12600 rpm and that was still on a rich setting.
the throttle transition was great and it idled very well. I will post more info. after I fly with it for a while but so far
I am very pleased. Where else can you get a ball bearing .52 with a tuned pipe all for less than $80.00 bucks.
