Version 1.01

Congratulations on choosing the gas engine MVVS 30 ccm.
MVVS 26 has been designed and manufactured for propeller-powered radio-controlled model planes. It is
able to meet all of your expectations of an acrobatic racing engine.

Safety precautions

1) Never use the engine for any manned vehicles.

2) When operating model planes, always follow the rules and laws in effect in your country.

3) The manufacturer declines all responsibility for all damages arising from the operation of models and

other appliances droved by MVVS engine.

4) Always use original spare parts.

5) Never tamper with the engine construction.

6) Before each flight check that all the propeller screws are tightened up and in good condition. If you

use a spinner, check that it is tightened up, too. When mounting the spinner always follow the
assembly instructions.

7) Before each flight check that all the propeller screws are tightened up and in good condition. If you

use a spinner, check that it is tightened up, too. When mounting the spinner always follow the
assembly instructions.

8) Before starting the engine always make sure that the model is safely fixed in place and cannot start

moving.

9) Fuel is combustible and therefore must be kept in an enclosed container at a safe distance from the

engine when it is running.

10) When preparing fuel carefully follow the manufacturer’s or dealer’s instructions.

11) Small objects must be kept at a safe distance from the engine when it is running. Never throw any

objects towards the spinning propeller.

12) Be careful in choosing the location where you wish to start the engine. Avoid dusty or sandy areas.

13) Start the engine in well-ventilated areas only. Never start the engine indoors.

14) When starting the engine make sure that bystanders, especially children, are at a safe distance of at

least 10 meters.

15) The engine power output makes it possible to fly big models. Mal-operation of such models may

cause serious damage. Start using the MVVS 30 in model planes only after you have mastered
operating smaller models.

16) Periodically check that the engine is firmly fixed to the engine mounts. Never start a loose engine!

17) Always use a balanced propeller! Always replace the propeller when damaged!

18) Make sure that no part of your body intersects the plane of the spinning propeller.

19) Always wear close-fitting, well-fastened clothes when starting or operating the running engine. Never

wear loosely hanging clothes (ties, scarf, etc.).

20) Never try to stop the engine by any part of your body.

21) Always stop the engine either by turning off the ignition switch or by completely closing the

carburetor throttle valve.

Selecting a suitable propeller

It is usually the case that propellers of the same dimensions coming from different manufacturers are not
the same. Oftentimes not even propellers of the same dimensions produced by a same manufacturer are not
the same. The engine power is best utilized when the propeller dynamics curve and engine power curve
(revolutions / power output) intersect in the area of the engine top power output. Unfortunately, no
propeller manufacturer provides this information. Engine power output is also a variable quality. It depends
above all on the silencer used and can considerably vary. The situation is further complicated by
environmental parameters (temperature and atmospheric pressure in particular): low temperature and high
pressure increase propellers’ input requirements by 20% in comparison with input at hot weather.
MVVS 30 has been designed to generate maximum power at 8500 RpM, according to the type of exhaust
used. If you wish to utilize the maximum power output, choose a propeller which allows the engine to reach
these revolutions, or slightly lower revolutions (given the unloading of the propeller depending on the
speed of flight) on the ground.
We do not recommend using propellers with which the engine reaches more than 9000 RpM. on the
ground.

Suggested propeller dimensions: 16x10, 16x11, 16x12, 17x10, 17x12, 18x8

Fuel

Always use unleaded 95-octane petrol mixed in the proportion 40 volume units of petrol to 1 unit of Mobil
Racing 2T oil. If necessary, quality brand-name synthetic oil intended for racing two-stroke engines
can be used too. Mix it in the proportion 30:1.
Never use inexpensive oil developed for garden appliances or synthetic oils intended for the operation of
methanol model engines. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for all engine damages arising from
the use of low-quality fuel.
Store fuel in containers designed for this purpose. Do not use mixed fuel older than 90 days.

Assembly

Since air is used to cool the engine, sufficient air circulation under the cowl must be ensured. Never forget
about a hot air outlet – which must be bigger than the intake. Gas engines heat up to a much greater degree
than methanol ones!
Do not forget that the engine needs oxygen from the air to be able to operate. Therefore ensure access of air
to the engine intake as well. Caution: intake of warm air from beneath the cowl may cut the engine power
output.

Caution! When mounting the engine in the model use seals to protect all openings and prevent the
pollution of the engine’s inside with sawdust, residual abrasives etc.
