Default Turnigy HP50

I've read some posts about this engine and I couldn't resist trying to get more input on it. Read one post that it swallowed a magnet for the rotary valve, how that happened is a myth to me, and one about metal filings in the crankcase and another about a crack in the rotary valve housing itself. Did they get a different version than I did? What compelled me to buy one from HK, I don't know! But I did! It seems to be a copy of a DA50. Not trying to + or - the engine, but mine is great! Power as advertised! Better than my BME 50.

Forgot to mention that it is the old XYZ engine that HK is selling with the Turnigy name name on it!

Cap232tain,
I too read all the negative comments from others here on RCU and if I had listened to them I would've steered away from the HP50. Mine runs very well and although I have yet to fly it, I have ran it several times. It seems to produce plenty of power and I am confidant that it will fly the Widhare Extra 300 very well. Good Luck with yours!

Happy Flying!

Loopman
