Re: E-F1: List of Recommended and Approved Components (engin

HobbyKing is offering a refreshed Turnigy Aerodrive XP SK3 3542-1250. They have availability of this engine, per the inventory. My question is if this is an upgrade to the old engine, will it be legal? Similar to the upgrades to Nelson and Jett. Since I am not an expert on electrics, I have included the 2 links to the new offering and what I believe to be the old. I also checked the specs to the Eflite and to me it seemed to be simmilar. Again, not an expert. Would really appreciate input on this subject. I would appreciate comments from someone on the NMPRA board as well, so I can finalize purchasing an engine, and give EF1 a try.
Thanks,
Luis M.

Unfortunately, this motor is not approved for use in the NMPRA EF-1 events. The old motor was discontinued and this motor exceeds our standards for approval.

Stay tuned, there are other motors that are in the works, and may be available early 2013.
