Default Re: THE NEW MT 57CC ENGINE

We were able to record a test flight using a LS Pro MT57 on a BME Edge. This is a first generation airplane and is heavier than the newer versions. This particular plane was weighed after the flight in the video clip below. It still had almost a full tank of fuel after the flight. The plane with the remaining fuel weighed 20lbs 7oz. (The plane weighs about 18lbs 9oz DRY).

The clip is not that great (I wish my camera skills were better), and the weather was not the best as it started to rain just after take off.

The clip shows the power to pull this plane vertical right from take off.
The engine in this plane is not the same as the engine I described in past posts, it is my 2nd test engine -at the time of this flight it had about 30ozs of fuel through it, but it is setup the same as the 1st test engine with a stock muffler.
Here's the clip:
