Magnum 25XLS?
Moderator: hbartel
Open B Engines
I posted a message on the Global Magnum forum to see if I could get confirmation regarding the blue top 25 or 28 XLS release. Let's see what they say.
I also complained about engine manufacturers not listening to the needs of combat pilots. You guys visit the global forum and post a response to my post if you get the chance.

Lets let them know what we need in the way of support from the engine manufacturers for Open B engines. We should all send e-mails and make posts to forums to let them know GMS is going to sell a lot of engines next year unless they make some changes.

Go get your local pylon pilots that fly 25 sized planes to voice their opinion too. They are a larger community, and with a lot of support from them we may be able to win together. I have pointed our local pylon guys to Scott Gilkey's excellent work on alternative engine evaluations and have received very favorable feedback.
The more the merrier!

Actually, if you refer to this link to the Global Services forum, Mike confirms that they are working on the molds for the Magnum 25 XLS.Team Scharnell wrote:We got a reply from our rep at Global. The engine guys are working on the molds! What size they did not confirm.
Those that Enjoy the smell of NITRO in the AM on combat day should air your concerns too Global. To keep them going.

Re: Open B Engines
Hey guys check out the recent updat to the Gloabal Magnum forum regarding the status of the Magnum 25 XLS. I really like the way they are stepping up to the plate and supporting the combat sport. You sure could not beat the price they lowered the Magnum 15 XLS down to recently either.
Way to go Magnum!

Re: Open B Engines
Great work on getting to the manufacturer and getting our "lessons learnt" directly into the product design.

All right! Ordered one, can't wait to see if they live up to the expectations set by the prototype.

Looks good, Very OS like?? I have plenty of engines I bought before they stopped the OS FX 25 but I will buy 1 to test and show support that Global listened.

And it's $50 cheaper than the reintroduced OS 25FX. Do they really think we are going to pay $130 for an engine that was $95 when they discontinued it last year?Big Dog wrote:Looks good, Very OS like??

Sorry Great Planes - I bought my last OS.

Keith Up until the panic when they went out of production I would buy 3 at a time from the LHS and she discount them to $65.00. I still bought the last 8 I could find at $95.00. I hope the Magnums are just as strong
