I need to add this. Guys, if you need MVVS in USA, don't wait for back-order or preorder the stuff. I've never meet such friendly person as Paul from justengines in UK.
Gues what - my engine arrived. I couldn't believe. Royal Mail rules together with fast and great service from Paul from
justengines.com I checked it - I ordered it Friday 04/22/05 it arrived Tuesday 04/26/05 ( 4 days including weekend). Don't forget that they are 8 hours ahead.
regarding MVVS - it is very nice piece of hardware. Will you believe that it looks (maybe it is) smaller than Saito 180. Very easy to install in the plane. Now I'm waiting for backlate mount for balancing test.
One more thing about the ignition - it takes 90-120 mA at iddle and up to 500mA 9k ropm. With 800 Lipo I'm good for 2 hours of flying. And has two safety features: It shuts off for some time inactivity, and on low voltage it chanes the timing to slow down the engine to around 3k-4k rpm. You will have time to land before dead stick.
