Try finding an MVVS engine in the US.

...I had a Rossi .40 & .45, but they were more trouble than they were worth....
Ed,


Why bother looking for an MVVS in the US, when you can get them anywhere else (Pé Reivers, Dave Moen, myself - DarZeelon) for significantly less than Morris Hobbies used to sell them?

What goes for the Rossis, with fuel management (rich mid-range, Etc.) does not apply to MVVS engines with the new MVVS carburettors (not older than 3 years).

Dar, what does your GS-45 pull an APC 11x6 (not an MA, or any other brand, but an unmodified APC 11x6) at with its stock exhaust on 5 or 10% nitro?
Grant,


That GS-45 ABC was not mine, but a friend's.
I may buy one still.

The prop used was a Master Airscrew black series II 11x6. I did not have an APC and I used my 15/18/2 (nitro/techniplate/BeNOL) four-stroke fuel, since this is what I had on hand. The muffler was the stock, quiet ST type.

This prop was spun at 14,100 RPM, adjusted for flight, which is significantly more than an OS.46AX can.
