Status: offline 		The new 3MM Gas motor is now available at www.dawghouserc.com. I have one on my Wildhare Extra 300LX. As soon as the weather breaks I will have more info on how it runs. He also has aluminum spinners and aluminum standoffs. Very nice high quality stuff and great prices. I used his standoffs, 3.5" spinner and the stock 3MM muffler on my Wildhare. My airplane had a DA 50 on it orginally. Had to modify the cowl a little. The mounting hole pattern to mount the motor is different than the DA50 and the carb is side mounted instead of rear mounted. Using a servo for the choke also. Everything looks nice and can't wait to fly it.

Status: offline 		You caught me, I live in indiana haven't changed my cell over yet since my daughter lives in Boston...Geistware you really hunt for things. If your a moderator I think you need to act a little more professionally coulda asked that in a pm....But I have noticed it is typical for this site to act in that manner.
Yes it is a 2 petal reed, and the specs should be 31.0 If I remember right. I was advised of this yesterday on the missed decimal point.
This is turning a msc 22X10 out of the box at 6800-7000 Dick hanson threw a 24X8 on it and if I remember right hit 6400 on a new engine I sent him to play with.
Any further question don't hesitate to ask.
Scott

Status: offline 		Muffler is quite good and does a normal job of sound control. It is very light so it won't help much with the balanceing of the engine. I will send an engine to Bisson and have a wrap around designed for it in the near future. We do know that the Moki mounting holes are the same as a friend was looking at trying the muffler on his big moki.
Dick has run the engine I will let him comment on what he thought. He may not have found this thread since it was moved.

Status: offline 		engine is 4 pounds -- not 3 lbs so it is heavier than the lighter 50s but same as 3W essentially
very smooth runner - easy start - no leaks easy restarts -low vibes -all in all very nice engine. good quality!
the muffler sounds quite nice -for in cowl muffler- and does not harm power on the 24x8 - quite a surprise.
I would use it on this engine if I was to use in cowl muffler .
I would take it over any of the piston ported designs in that weight range 50-60 cc - -Having run Zenoah and Fuji in this size /weight --They both had notable vibration at 3000 --this one has none there - just a little bit right at 2200.

Status: offline 		Just recieved engine from China, quicker shipping than from in the states. I am planning on putting it on the M12 Python, with a 23x8 prop.
Questions, the prop washer is so tight I can't get it on the shaft, same with the prop. Is the shaft larger than 10mm?
Do I need to use 22x8 for break in like the DA?
What fuel grade and mix are you using? Do you have any suggestions???
Thanks
Riggit1
