Default MVVS...?

Dear Robert;

I did not intentionally trash your companies engines, but my luck with your engine is fact for me, and what I stated in my post. My information was earned over five years ago with your engine, and R/C Reports Magazine stated the same...and came out with their confermation/artical about the same time. I do not know what has taken place with your company over the past several years, and in my post I did state that he should bench run them first to see what he has. I've had problems with both my MVVS engine, and Fox motors. I've experience with Cox, OS Max, Enya, Super Tiger, MOCEA ( suprisingly strong and inexpensive),and my best engines, K & B. MVVS at that time did not do me justice, and I did try every trick in the book that I knew of, to get it to run reliably.

To be fair to you I will state that it was Five Years Ago that I delt with your engine, and I do not have any current information on your motors. I also get just about every model airplane magazine published in this country, and have no current information about your engines one way or the other...

I also work out side this country, and home one to three months a year. At this time, I did not have the time to send in motors that did not work, or any model products, and try to correct any problems that I may have had with them...and I can not say enough good about Robart or K & B. Most all companies have done more then expected in honoring their products, and I've issues with Ace r/c and Hobby People. Hobby People just blew me off, and Ace is still working to resolve issues with some of their electonic products, and no help with their Fun Fly ARF stabilizer failures...I've had two fail on me.

That MVVS was an inexpensice motor, and decided not to fuss with it any more. I did not turn in the engine to anyone for repair, and have no idea of how your company would have responded...but by your strong wording in your letter to me, you seem to take this quite personally. I've no idea if you were on hand five years ago with these engines or do I have any current informatin on them...as I stated in my Post...Bench Run them first, and see what you get...

Soft landings Always,

Bobby of Maui
