ORIGINAL: sinergy
well I really wasnt complaining... I was sharing with the original poster what I saw.
I am not the one who is trying to purchase a small gasser. I am well aware you dont get the same performance in similar sized engines from glow to gas. So in fact I don't lack that knowledge. I was just giving an example of the poor performance stock.
Like I said.. I dont even fly engines this small. [sm=75_75.gif]

I'm not picking on you (intentionally), Sinergy. I have a bad short term memory. I sometimes confuse personalities and statements, by attributing a statement with the wrong personality. No offense intended.
But my point is still valid in that one should not consider a 1.6 gas engine as being low on power when it won't fly a model that is designed for a 1.6 glow engine as well as the glow engine. For a gas engine, the MVVS/Evolution engines are among the most powerful. I do agree that it was not really acceptable for that particular model if you are a true 3D flyer.
The size of your models has nothing to do with your expertise or flying skills. Only the size of your resources. Having large resources is not a part of modeling and should not be confused with modeling skills and savvy. One is not a better modeler/pilot because his/her models cost more. But you probably knew that.
I agree with you in that it would be more honest if MVVS quoted horsepower figures of the engine without a resonant exhaust system. But the problem arises (and provides Evolution with an out) because the engine does not come with a muffler, IIRC.
