RE: UMS Evolution Radial Care and Operation

badangle - I can't give you an exact weight as the wings are off for transporting to the field. I'm guessing around 24 lbs. but I'll weigh it when I go to fly it again.
The 7-77 had way more power...

RE: UMS Evolution Radial Care and Operation

RE: UMS Evolution Radial Care and Operation

I got my EVO 777 running yesterday. What a sweetheart of an engine. No problems getting it started. It needed just a little prime and took right off. I have the McDaniel glow driver plus the Kelo...
