I have the same plane with a DL in it running a 23A. I would think a 23 A or B should be suitable for a 57cc.

anybody recieve an engine? I'm anxious to hear some reports, even if its just about how they look

Orders Shipped
I shipped [8] yesterday and [8] today and the last [6] will go out Monday. So all should be delivered by the latest Thursday. Except the ones that were shipped out of the country. Taking orders for the new shipment that is coming. The next order is [40] MT57 due at the end of the month. We should be getting feed back before the next shipment is here.

Im sure you guys will be impressed over there.For anyone one reading this and with the delivery imminent for you,remember to get a replacement NGK plug to avoid disapointment at the field.The supplied plug is pretty much gauranteed to break down and miss ignition sequence on the mid-top end.By the way my Prototype 57 ive been testing in the UK has now had a good 5 US gallons down her throat and is run in lovely.We've now up'd the prop size to a 24x10 ZDZ wood which shes loving,she hauls all 18.5lbs of the EF 88 YAK with ease.3d flight is so smooth with a real crisp pickup from a hover.I think you guys are mad thinkin of putting a 22x8 prop on this monster,she'll end up being all bark with little to no bite.If you want use a 22x8 the MT50 is perfect

Had some snow for one day last week and then it was gone.Couldnt resist,so heres some pics of the UK.If any of guys are ever coming to London England,drop me a Private Message if you want to do a bit of flyin here

Where you at Joe?? My brother-in-law lives in Basildon.

[jrjohn]

That is absolutly awsome. A 24x10 prop! I've always believed the beloved 88'' EF yak needed a big 24'' prop to get the thrust past that huge oversized cowl for optimum performance. This is exactly the engine Myself and some others have been waiting for. It looks like I"ll be able to fly my 88'' EF yak this summer. 170 dollars cheaper than the Berrilli, it's purpose built, rear carb, reeds not a chainsaw conversion and it will pull a 24'' prop with authority. I"m stoked!

this pic needs to be on this is how the hard men do it thread lol....

[joe barrington]

Glad u like the pics guys,but i aint no hardman.Just mad for flying whatever the weather,just wish my son whos in the snow man pics would pic up the TX,unfortunately hes more into his X box LOL

Basildon is the other side of London to me,but only an hours drive maximum.But as i said,if anyone wants come over fly if there in the UK.NO PROBLEMS,i got 2 88 yaks so as theres always a spare.

I live in an area called Croydon,which is basically SE London.
Looking forward to hearing some of your comments when your 57's arrive and your flyin them

just received my mt57 today looks very nice.i put it on a postal scale and got 3lbs.8ozs. with muffler,standoffs and spark plug.next i put a da50 same equipment and it is 3 lbs. 5ozs. don't now how accurate the scale is but still only a 3ozs. different.anyone that has this engine now, what is the replacement spark plug no. i thought i read some where that it was a cm6 but it will be to small looks to be a 5/8 plug. inside of cylinder looks nice also nice crosshatch hone marks.

BPMR6F or RDJ7Y..spray some silicone in the cap, makes it come off easier later....
The crosshatch marks are below the smooth surface of the bore...Crosshatch marks above the smooth surface would wear the rings out VERY quickly.....

BPMR6F or RDJ7Y..spray some silicone in the cap, makes it come off easier later....Urban myth #2..Crosshatch marks are necessary in a chrome or Nikasil bore 2 stroke...WRONG....
The crosshatch marks are below the smooth surface of the bore...Crosshatch marks above the smooth surface would wear the rings out VERY quickly.....
The bores are finish honed with crosshatch marks before plating or chroming...After plating the bores are lightly honed with diamond or Borazon stonesto smooth out the high spots...The crosshatch marks are the valleys between the smooth highs....

Ralph,
The plug is the NGK 6A type with the washer. Takes a 3/4 socket to remove. I bought 60 of the 6f plugs to replace the hokey chinese plug and I could'nt swap out the plugs for the customers. BUMMER!!!!! Now I am sitting with 60 plugs that are wrong.
