so how is this mvvs 58, aka evo 58.
Tom from wildhare said this is the engine to have.
turns a 24x10 inch prop at 6900 rpm and has around 8.5 hp.
Its heavy but Apparently its the best fit for 50-60 size cc gas.
The plane I have is a wildhare 28% extra special.
man I was almost about to pick up a zdz 50ng and then I find out about this.
I had bought, and received, an MVVS 58 Prosport for my 87" Yak, and changed my mind and bought the MVVS 45MG. Why? Weight. The 58 is an incredible engine and on paper, I agree, it sounds perfect for a 30% plane, and I think it would work great. I know people are running this combination with great success. I just decided that wing loading was more important than outrageous(read excessive) power. It sure would be fun, but for 3D, wing loading is king in my book. The 45 will still have plenty of power to hover, and I believe(we'll find out), plenty of excess power to pull out rapidly from tight situations, with a 16lb +- plane.
