u may want to put it on a pipe i just pulled my brison 3.2 of my yak to try the bme 58. the brison will go back on the DP extra that I pulled it off of. I am running the bme 58 on a c/f pipe..... also a 22 x 8 will send that yak up pretty fast as i tried quite a few props on this deal. I ran a 23a vess on the brison with that same pipe but the uplines were very fast on a 22 vess, xoar, mejzlik, and menz in the 8 pitch series......

i had a mt 57 on a wildhare extra 300 and i have to say this thing was great never had a problem with starting or other wise. Ihad a mez carbon fiber 22x8 and it was spinning at about 7400 rpms. the only problem i had is that one of my feathers stuck and the plane plunged into the saginaw river and wasnt able to recover it. I only had the plane for 2 months but for the motor only got better and for customer service you cant be larry. i had a question and emailed him on friday night and he called me back on a sunday afternoon, now if you ask me you cant be customer service. i will be replacing my lose with another mt 57.

Yep, Tomy and Larry both seem like they will bend over backwards to help. Tomy seen in a thread what RPM's i was getting and he thought they should be higher and PM me and wanted to look at it,so back to China it went.still waiting for engine to return. |

just switched to 40:1 on my MT57. Spinning a XOAR 23A at 6800 RPM. I had 26Lbs of thrust at 6200 RPM, not sure what I'm getting now. 17.5 Lb Sukhoi has unlimited vertical. Started all day with one flip of the prop. One of the nicer sounding engines at the field as well. Everyone's DA's are still breaking in ![]() I am pleasantly surprised! |

well i just got the engine back from Tomy Friday,the best news is that it is a brand NEW engine! it's in the plane now and will start it today after i get back from flying today.it will be interesting to see how this one compares to the first run of these engines. after i get it running and a few tanks of fuel through it i will let you know what i think of it. |
