Man krayzc....we must be on the same wave length , i just got off the phone with tom myself and ordered one up as well. I'll be running a MTW 75 canister and header with it. Slappin' it on the front of a H9 / carden yak 54.....should be a sweet combo!!

Jeffro503 great minds at work here.
I just received my header today for this motor. I ordered the header a few weeks ago custom made by ol Karl in Canada for this deal. Well here it is I am not sure what length will work best for my needs and this motor so I will have to check that part out. I am running mine on the C/F pipe...... |

HAHA!!...........sheeeesh........talk about timing!! i just got done writting "ULTIMATE1" here on FG about getting one of karls headers as well.
hey just so you know.....i was reading a post over on RCU by PE REIVERS about the RC extreme power Area 51 motor that Milton sells. and i read a reply by him saying start with a really long header.....possibly 15" and you'll get so much power out of a smaller motor it would be unbelievable ! check out post # 20 and a few after that >>> http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_78..._1/key_/tm.htm Interesting to say the least! I'm not sure on the length of the header i can use on my H9 / carden yak yet. I'll have to wait and get the motor mounted , figure out my drop length on the header and go from there. BTW....pretty lookin' header man! Un- wrap that sucker and post a couple up close pics if you can Krayzc......PLEASE!! BTW....what drop length did you get? |

lol the pic has a write up lol a 25mm drop and here is the pic
as the header gets shorter the motor will come on the pipe harder and pull more RPM there is a balance most mfg will tell you so that you do not have the peeke motors my 50 ran well on about 12 inches if i am recalling correctly..... I think this header is about 11" long....... |

Ol Karl in Canada is bad to the Bone as he has made other headers for me. This set up will be on the carbon fiber pipe. My Brison spun a bearing or something ( I have not opened it up to see) so I wanted to try this motor to see if its half of the BME 116 for power to snatch my E/Flight Yak 54 around on a 23" prop. I ran the Brison on a Karl header spinning a 23A Vess at 6900 and sometimes a peak of 7k but 6900 was normal. The Brison picked up about 300 or more RPM over the peacekeeper muffler that I ran on a DP Extra that is parked. IF the Brison is repairable I will throw it back on the DP Extra for a true gas beater bird. I need to get my flying DOD and that would be my bird to do it gets over the fear factor with lol.
Torq I measure the entire length of the header as I would imagine it would be easier if the header was made like the 150cc motors do with just a drop and not all of this bending stuff. I think the header was 11 inches. My 50 cc header was 12" if memory servers I correct..... I did not realize the joints were clean until Jeffro mentioned it I just it was like glass blowing and no joints lol |

That bipe, hanging from your ceiling, ever since I saw the vid Kyle and his bipe, I have been looking for that plane. Is that it? Do you know where I can get one or the plans to build one. Could you tell me what it is even. Sorry, not trying to hijack but I have been looking for this plane for months. Just to get back on track, I am thinking about this BME-58 for my first gasser.
Take care; Tom |

Gotta contact info for Ol Karl in Canada? I may see if he can make me a couple of 2 into 1 headers for my EVO300.
Thanks,
