Default Kroma 180i

Anyone tried one? 19hp 6000rpm on a 32 x 10 for 8.25lbs, sounds good.

I've seen one on a DR Hobbies 3.0 meter Extra, & it was absolutely awesome. If I were in the market for a 150cc, this is the engine I would buy.

I seen Todd fly his 180 last weekend at an IMAC here is what I think about it ,,It started easy and at idle it looks smooth and sounds like a dragster .(it had stock mufflers).he had a Bolly 32x10 on it and it would bark so lound it woke my dead grandmother,,he said they are still trying to find a suitable prop for it ,,I know that 32x10 was no competetion for it ,,He flew at half throttle or less ,with more than enough power I will be keeping a watch on this engine ,,Todd maybe onto somthing with this ,,Time will tell though,, IMHOP

Camel,
I have 11 gallons through the 180 and the power is unbelievable.
We are trying some different props to find the right size, and we are in the process
of putting my 180 on cans. I believe the motor is going to be very strong and dependable

Looks interesting, and who makes them? Will be interested to see the rest of the line. It sure is great to see so many fine motors out there

WOW Looks like it is only a couple oz more than a DA 150! What kind of ignition does it come with? What is the recomended Oil/Fuel breakin/Flying? What Hub bolt pattern does it have?
