Good evening from New Zealand. I have just purchased a Sky Ranger V Max with a 92 HP Simonini engine and very pleased with its performance. Two up 50 litres of fuel using 65 meters on TO.
The motor only has 100 hours on it, with a 3 bladed prop.
Yes they are two strokes and a bit roudy but we are a moto cross family and dont mind. I am a PPL with 38 years of flying and very much enjoy spending time with my grand kids showing them how to fly it.
Using around 15 litres per hour and crusing 75 kts ( 85 mph ) at 5700 rpm.
The simonini is a cheap reliable engine to operate and requires maintenance and operating performance as per the manual ( not what others think )
