I emailed PE regarding the MVVS 80 and pipe and header. I will probably go that route. i like the idea of the dual plug option. Is MVVS all that different from Evolution? I ask because it doesn't appear so on the surface.

No the basic design is the same. But Pe is better to deal and carries alot more stuff for the engines than Horizon..And of course you don't see the twin spark option in the Evo line....I'd bet Pe is getting alot of calls for this same combo you and I are considering.

I think the header drop should be 15 to 25mm...is that what you got?

I took the Sukhoi out of the box the night I got it to have a look but I have two other large projects on the go right now. I packed it back up again for now and didn't take any measurements. I will get the MVVS and pipe in January. I wasn't even planning on getting the Sukhoi but my LHS was having a "Midnight Madness" sale last week and everything in the store was 25% off. I HAD to buy it at that price. I need to save some pennies now to get the engine and pipe. I am hoping to gain the info that I need to order the right stuff over the next 6 weeks while I finish off my other planes. Please keep me posted on what you discover.

Would I not need an engine mounted to refrence for measurements to begin with?

I emailed MTW and got this respose:

You can measure by looking up the engine dimensions and then going of the centerline on the engine box.

Against the 3W 85..Hmmmm...Giving up a few cc and the 3W's have very good torque but the MVVS's are torque monsters as well...

The 3W would likely be a bit more powerful so it is a tough choice..The MVVS is considerably cheaper and as good an engine in every way.

Leaning hard to the MVVS.

Very cool!! Sounds to me like the MVVS80 may just be the ticket!!

Listen - I picked up an electric power system that is going in my 50cc EF Yak on 10S lipo. The reason I got it was to test it and eventually put in an 85cc bird and run it on 12S.

On 10S, it will turn a 26x10 prop at 5500 rpm, so a fair bit more than a DA50 with unfortunately a 1.4lb weight penalty over the DA50. On 12S, it turns a 26x12 or 27x10 prop at around 6200 rpm and has the same all up weight as a DA85 on muffler!!!

Now you've got me drooling over this plane - it would be perfect for my electric system


PS - I still don't recommend electrics - I've got around $1700 into this power-system! The electrics have torque beyond compare, but tough to justify with the price!!


Cheers

Let me first off say, thanks for going out of your way to get the pics for "US" I really like the plane and the color looks better than i thought! and super light too! Stick with 80cc this is your RAG DOLLY plane any how ain't it?

I think an electric setup would be great...I did some pricing Trevor and it is expensive. I have some tell me that the electric setup for this size is still not as good as it could be...I don't know though..

I want to talk to you about the setup you bought!!
