I just recently purchased a VMAX 52 PRO for my Tiger2. Does anyone have any info on this engine?
Reliablitiy? performance? I got it because a couple of club members fly the VMAX 46 and seem to like them.
THis VMAX 52 was a bargin at $75.00 new with tuned pipe included. I have yet to mount it on my plane.
I am going to break it in on my test stand first.

Several o fthese engines are turning up at our field too. I've seen a couple of the 46s run and they seem to be a pretty good engine. I have read on here somewhere that they are the same as GMS engines but I don't know that for a fact. Let us know how it does after you run it a while. The prices are great!

I have no personal knowledge, but a recent review on the vmax 46 was glowing. Apparently a red hot motor with the ability to turn larger props than other .46s and the price is right

I mounted this engine on the test stand this past weekend and run it in. I was amazingly pleased. My electric starter
has recently went bad so all I had was my chicken stick. I fueled it up and primed it, put on the glow starter and gave a few flips
and she started right up. I broke it in exactly as the manufacturers instructions said and it ran great. It will need a little more breaking
in on the plane but on the stand with the 11x5 prop it was turning at 12600 rpm and that was still on a rich setting.
the throttle transition was great and it idled very well. I will post more info. after I fly with it for a while but so far
I am very pleased. Where else can you get a ball bearing .52 with a tuned pipe all for less than $80.00 bucks.

i have heared that they are gms engines as well. ifyou go to any vmar distributor, they will also give you discount prices on gms engines if you buy a vmar product. they will also give you discounts on vmax engines if you buy through them, so that is a pretty sure sign.
