MDS 15 Engine info from Geb

Info for Tim from Geb.

Hi Tim, I have done some research on your MDS engine. It looks to me that it is an MDS15FR model.

To run in, use 80/20 (Methanol/Castor oil) straight fuel. Run in without pipe on for 15 runs beginning with 3 runs of 30 seconds - leaving to cool down between each run. After the first 3 runs you can extend the time slowly each run up to to 1 minute - letting it cool down between each run. Start with a 4.7 x 4.7 prop. After 10-12 runs mount the pipe and give it a few more runs. By this stage it should be loose. Recommended plug is a Rossi No.6. After this you can go to an APC 5 x 5 prop. It is said it should reach 30,000rpm with this setup. Don't load it up with too big a prop - it could damage the conrod. Ripmax advertise that they stock spares for this engine on their website.

Look at this webpage (its in German but google will translate it for you!!
