Works great! In stock form it may be slightly "soft" and require you to fly it more on the wing. If you convert it to CDI ignition, it picks up a good amount of power and then it's more than enough....

I replaced the rings on mine (you can even add dual rings) using the OEM UMS rings. I was able to order new o-rings and cylinder rings for my engine directly from UMS. Wasn't terribly expensive...

j lauria, was fixing it yourself not an option I guess?

Purchasing a new set of rings from UMS as well as bearings doesn't take long to do. I can see how sending the engine into UMS is cost...

As mentioned previously, check your carb. Might need a re-build. The stock carb is *bad*, but not THAT bad. If the high-end at least holds steady and you get decent RPM's then it seems like the...

I think the only "saving grace" if there were to be one, is that you generally don't need to fiddle with the LSN at all once the engine has been broken in and properly set. So it's overall a very...

Don't think it's the voltage that has anything to do with the TM1000 not reading the RPM. It's an incompatibility with the output of the RCEXL tach and the RPM input adaptor. Some have tried tapping...

No, the oil actually helps seat the rings properly! Has a dual purpose with the additive.

The 7-77 will be bogged down IMO if you run it under 5,500 on the ground. After break in you can run a...

Rob, I think the Evo 35cc engine would for sure be under powered for a 20-26lbs plane. With that engine you're looking at an 18x8 prop at the large end for thrust swinging less than 6,000rpm stock....
