Default MDS .25 ABC engine Good or BAD ?

I am currently bidding on this engine and would like to know if I should let it go . Right now the bid is for $41 dollars. Any help will be appreciated.

P.S. If in any way this engine is like the MAG .28 please let me know.

The MDS 25 is not the most common engine in the world so I wouldn't expect a lot of response.

The MDS engines tend to unload a lot, mixture wise, when in the air and require a little getting used to.

They can be a real enjoyable engine.

The sources for MDS parts are disappearing off the face of the earth.

Due to these factors, I would think the engine would not be one to have a lot of investment in?

Enjoy,

Jim

Congrats on the OS 25FX. I'm sure you will enjoy it. A friemd at the field has one and he's had it on three different planes in the last year. He didn't break the planes, he just enjoys the engine. It always runs perfect.

Enjoy,

Jim
