They run Good but are 1.5 ounce heaver than a St.60

I“ve used Merco 35, 49-50 and 61 in competition during several years with complete satisfaction, Merco 35 is approx 1,5 oz heavier than a Fox, too, but they are mild, easy to use and with a flat torque and lovable break.
Just adjust the nose lenght while biulding your stunter!!!
Tom Dixon has huge experience with them in both Classic and F2B flying.
I like these engines.
Regards.

Is the Rustler/Merco .61s sold by RSM in this family? Ron. ???

The one on the RSM website a few weeks ago was a Russian (or Ukraine) copy of the old Merco .61, and it said so. I would expect it to be a good stunt engine if the weight doesn't bother you. It might be lighter, if it's made as an AAC, but I don't remember, not being particularly interested in more .60's.
The new RM .61 (got an introductory email last week or so) is a bigger version of the "Metamorph" .40 that Ted and Brett rave about. I heard the .61 is in the 10.5 oz bracket with side/rear exhaust, and I think it's twin ball bearing, while the .40 is a sleeve bearing. Pete Peterson told me which stunt engine specialist makes them, but I forgot. f~ Steve

Hi. I do have a new Metamorph 61 out, 12.5oz. with silencer, AAC T/R type construction. It sells for £135, about $254 at today's rate, inc. airpost.
If you'd like a latest list of Rustler engines, send me a PM. Cheers,

I have one each of the 'Rustler' Merco's.
I noticed that RSM now are selling both of them.
a) The Black one.
A little bit heavy but Very nice running and fairly powerful.
Also a little to noisy with the original muffler (x'use me Ian) but any ST .61 type
muffler will fit. All in all a very reliable engine with a nice 4-2-4 break.
b) The new Metamorph. Lighter and also (at least it feels ) some more power.
I have not ran it very much but it has no problems pulling a 62 Oz. Intrepid XL.
Will get a proper setup when spring arrives here in Norway.
It seems so far a little 'hot blooded' so i will ask Ian if he can fit a muffler pressure
nipple for me. (I have had good results using muffler pressure on my PA .61
)
They both fit in a standard St .61 mounting used by PA , Stalker etc...
Also the Metamorph can be both side and rear exaust.

Novaldo do you happen to know Flemming Pederson? If so see if he's the one who stayed with me at the Salton Sea, CA. Thanks Robert Storick

I think the one you are referring to is a Danish guy:
Flemming Pedersen. (I am Norwegian).
I think i met him once at a competition in Sweden.
