Where are these engines' made?
Anybody know the ulitmate source?
The ad says "available May 08".
As mentioned above, $80 for on engine with three venturis, an NVA, and good muffler is give-away.
Paul,
Of course they are made in China, People's Republic of...
The info is on the Evolution Engines website, at the address in small print on the bottom of the inside front cover, June 2008 Flying Models. Maybe Horizon is serious about these? That's a full page, full color ad...
Checked further on the site and found that many of their Evolution and Saito engines are on back order or expected in late May or so. (Note: Saito has a small-medium - for 4-cycles - CL version for around $150... Small, light - for 4-cycles - and quite nice RPM on prop numbers.) The descriptive comments seem to change from one page to another, but compared to some of the early Owners' Manuals/ Instruction sheets from that side of the Pacific, years back, at least these look quite close to well-written USA English as we're used to it.
The EVO engines site allows downloading of the manuals as .pdf. The 36CL manual isn't up yet, but the engine looks quite similar to their 36NT RC engine, probably will have a similar manual. Glad to hear the bore/stroke numbers come with the revised timing and porting.
