Yah, but it is what it is. That was how long it took for Regina to start her engine. Was that the 9th or the 10 flip?

Press Release: MLD & SPE Engines - June 12, 2009

Currently all 3 gas engines, SPE-26 (v-4), SPE-43 (v-4) and MLD-28 (v-5) are completing their updates and modifications. The process has taken much more time than we have anticipated. The final round of testing and approvals should finish after the week of July 4th, 2009. Because of required quality assurance process, we can only ship out the back-ordered engines after all inspections and tests are done. The corresponding manuals will become available after July 17th.


The areas of improvements are the electronic ignition systems (CDI), the vibration, the low-to-mid range throttle response curve, the carburetor, and other non-disclosed areas. As result of the updates and upgrades, you will have a better SPE or MLD North American engine. For those of you who may be concern with the North American SPE and MLD engines that you already own. Please do not be alarmed. The engines simply undergo improvements. We have simply executed the update process poorly, hence the gap in their availabilities.

Please contact us, if you have any question.


Sincerely,
Steven Chao

Just got my slightly used MLD 28 from RCuniverse yesterday got it all bolted up and fired off, sure does fire off quicker then the SPE for whatever reason, i'll be heading out to the field later today to see the difference between the two in flight, im getting excited!

Trust me it makes good power! I weighed my aeroworks yak 54 1.20 and its 12lbs! don't ask how, and the mld will pull it unlimited!

you will want a vess 18/6, xoar 18/6 or even a menz 18/6. carbon fiber should be good to. i have tried and used both the vess and xoar and both are just awsome with this engine.

12LBS what is your set up. mine was 10lbs 9 oz with the mld 28 in the nose. i got it down to 10lbs 2 oz without to much trouble.

We have three of these engines at our field now, mine being the first and two other members were so impressed that the got one. Mine is pretty broken in now and I am hovering my Cermark Edge on the deck with it now. So far none of our engines has quit running in the air. We are pleased. I am thinking about ordering another one for my Cermark Yak but now I'm hearing rumors of a DLE 30. Think I will see what that looks like before I do.

Update - July 28, 2009: SPE-43 Engines

North American SPE-43 are being shipped to dealers and customers as we speak. They have gone through all of the required quality assurance process. The areas of improvements are the electronic ignition systems (CDI), the vibration, the low-to-mid range throttle response curve, and other non-disclosed areas. Please contact us, if you have any question.

any video guys?

I got some good flights in with my Seagull Extra 260 180. I thought I would have more availible thrust on my plane. I need to weigh the thing it must be close to 14 pounds. It is pretty doggie with the MLD. I only have a couple of gallons through it. Tach reading today was 7950 with a Xoar 18x6.

is anyone using this to 3d?

Testing RSS feed...

Sure we are using it for 3D Krayzc. If you put it on a plane that weights 10 to 11 pounds it has great 3D power. But if you are using it on a 14 lb plane like Tele1974 it wouldn't be enough. Basically any 120 size plane will 3D well with this engine.

Any comments on my tach reading. Xoar 18x6 at 7950. Sound right for a new engine with a gallon through it.
