Default WORLD MODELS 42% ULTIMATE KROMA 180 TWIN!!!!

Me and my good friend Bryon Striker were out at the field with his brand new 42% Ultimate. The reason for this thread was for Bryon to show flying giants the power and capibilty of the Kroma 180. This
incredible engine packs a powerful punch. The output of this engine is 19 HP! The breakin prop he's using is a menz 32-10. On the first flight he was rippin the tips. The motor is double ringed so it will take 15 gallons to breakin. It is setup for Dual spark ignition! And it comes in at 8.48lbs. And is competively priced at 1,495.00. This is the engine to beat so see for yourself and visit DRhobbies.com and order yourself a Kroma, you wont be disappointed.

Now enjoy the video put together and taped by my good buddy
Brian Dryja.

Make sure when you order your Kroma to mention Bryon Striker.

The only plane I remember going in that tree was my friend Teryn. He was geting cocky and was hotdoging his magic when all you here is tree branches crunching.
But that was 2 years ago. None ever since then.

dude... I was going to come out to Mole field but I have a feeling that the TREE is coming out of retirement... and its balsa magnitivity is going to return!

Why O why would that tree not be taken out?
The field looks great but that tree... MAN...

There has to be a great reason that tree is still there, like it bears the marks of some important piece of history, or something....

That motor's ripping the hell outta that prop. It's definitely asking for a bigger one.

Nice vid buddy!

Its not skill I'm worried about... my planes have a way of being attracted to oBjects.... even when I'm not flying!


I'll come out some day soon.
Hit me with directions.

I was going to come out with Jeremiah, but he moved!

I am just finishing up a Krill 39% KatanaS with a Kroma180i in the nose, it should be ready for maiden this weekend. I flew about 3 gallons through the Kroma in a 3.0m Fiberclassics Extra on mufflers, before loosing the Extra. I had the engine set very rich, only power at the very top. The mufflers wouldn't fit on the KatanaS, so I'm using some headers from a DA150 (is easily made to fit the Kroma) and some KS TD125 cans, they should make it breathe fine. With the headers it is so much easier to get to the needles on the carb., so I won't have an excuse not to have the engine adjusted correctly. I am going to run another 8 gallons of lawnboy ashless through it, then go to Saber mixed 80 to 1.
Didn't Mike report that WM 42% Ultimate to be a porker? I am downloading the movie as I type here, will watch it as soon as I can. I have an Airmodels32x11, Mejzlik32x10, 30x12, 30x10 and Bolly wood 32x10 props to run on this engine, will probably start with the Bolly and make some noise he he.
