Default 3w VOTEC FUN & MT-57

this plane are design for 3W50 or 3W55, too light compare with 3W55 when install the MT-57 enigne, so need put extra weigh on the nose to balance the plane. looks funny to me .

I recently acquired the same header and canister combination from LSPro for my MT - 57. I have to say that this is the best setup that I have used to date. No more brazing header sections to get a good fit. Much quieter than most stock mufflers which create field problems here.

Very impressive. I can't wait until I can get my MT57 back in the air, but I am in need of two of me. I don't have enough time in a day to get everything done. I hope to get my Aeroworks Pitts Python flying before winter. It should be a good match as they are coming in from 18 to 19.5 pounds.
