RE: New Merlin 90
I spent a few days next to one in September ( Jet Power show in Germany, my stand was next to Digitech who had the prototype)
Stunning bit of work and some really ingenious ideas. I only got a very brief overview of the specs and features but have to say I was very impressed.

RE: New Merlin 90
Its so good looking, I don't think I would ruin it by putting a Tea Strainer FOD screen on it. I wonder if Dream works would eventually distribute it. Whadda you say Todd?

RE: New Merlin 90
Hi Guys,
The M90 is in final development now. Pricing is expected to be very competitive. Although I have not received confirmed availability dates, we do expect the M90 to be released early 2008. Dreamworks looks forward to the addition of the M90 to our engine offerings. Stay tuned....

no it is smaller , and by far much lighter.
the size is closer to a Wren 54
i have seen this engine in action , the acceleration was the fastest i have ever seen.
the electronics are also very cool.
most of the ecu is INSIDE the cover , the only thing to connect to it is power , throttle and fuel pump.
so it will keep all data stored inside the engine.
offcourse i am biased , since i will also resell them .
the engine will be under 2000 euro,s including local taxes everywhere as a introduction price.
this little diamond also has a machined compressor , instead of a automotive one.

Yes, this little jewel is going to be very popular in the 90mm class, having seen the performance I think the 9kg/20lb rating is very conservative. A clutter free layout with custom integral micro fuel valves and fod screen in the design from the outset.
Looking forward to '08

I'm looking for a little more oomph in my Bandit ARF which currently has the oldest generation P70 in it... I'm considering whether a newer P70, or a Wren Supersport would be the best way to go, but the Merlin 90 may well be a viable option too if it is available (AND sufficiently tested !! I'm done being a guinea pig) in a timely manner.

Hi Sandor.
Do you mean that all other brands use automative compressors (from turbos I guess) ?
