I think the REEDY engine will be fine with the fuel. I know Rick said he could go the distance, so do not worry.

As for the release date I think we are looking at least another month or two. As some of you had posted AE/REEDY should not rush the engine and I am sure they will not. Their track record for putting out good products is top notch and they will not rush such important product.

just my 2 cents

Thanks

Made in Taiwan by Thunder Tiger.

how does everyone know they are only getting 7 minutes? i have never seen that posted or stated. there are many variables that factor in to fuel mileage

I think the guys are going back to the Worlds and the fuel mileage that they saw from Ryan M. REEDY Engine.

The problem is that the race was bak in September and the Team has been doing a ton of R & D. I am sure the King , Ryan, Brent , and Rick have al been testing different things to bring us the best engine out there.

I also know that IFMAR rules are different when it comes to the size of the tank. I am sure Ryan can go longer than 7 minutes now.


Ryan is great driver and to do so well with a new engine at the Worlds was awsome.

Just hang in there guys it will be worth the wait.


Later

Dont believe the fuel mileage excuses. The motor can go 11 minutes, i have seen saxton do it a few times.
