Tomy Shen is the Chinese source of the MT62i...He has been E Mailing people to sell his engine...
First sold by Adam at BCMA, don't know if he still does...
I bought a few to test....Rich Border has some...Milton Thompson has some...
The two I had were made with the ignition magnet positioned wrong in the hub, timed somewhere around 50+ degrees BTDC...I told Tomy, he changed the magnets...I think some will have two magnets, the second will have the opposite pole facing the sensor so as not to fire twice...Subsequent versions will have only 1 magnet...
There have been reports of the carb insulator block cracking or leaking, he copied the Horizon plastic carb block...
My version has the G10 epoxy board block with an external pulse line, thinner and NO cracking...
Tomy's prop hub is a copy of the old A&M 6 bolt hub...Hollow inside, held on with a nut, with a single bolt adapter on the end held on with 6 flathead allen bolts...
My version is solid 2024 aluminum...The buyer can specify length...
My version has an extra 6202 sealed ball bearing replacing the front crank seal, 2 front bearings are better than 1....
My version has the crank cut off at the rear bearing with a plug replacing the rear seal...
I THINK we all pay the same basic price for the engine...
OK Adam, Rich, and Milton...Anybody wanna play price games ? I will MATCH or sell my better version for LESS than any of you guys....Lets GIT'R DUN
I will guartantee the ignition FOR THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE, no matter who bought it or how many owners it has....
I have been converting and repairing Zenoah engines since 1987..Where were you guys ????? | |

Hi RCIGN,
What are the performance specs, RTF weight, and price of your modified MT62 ??
I've been looking at various lightweight 50cc-size engines for aerobatic use (DA, DL, 3W, LSPro, MT, etc.) but would be interested in more power if it's not MUCH heavier............
