I really like the part about the linkage. I'm REALLY fed up with engine maunfacturers selling us engines with a throttle tang designed for a cable pull weed eater and a choke tab that can almost, but only almost, be used by the average person. Not to mention fitting a collar to the odd sized shafts in order to make them useful.

Here are a couple more photos. One shows the arms on the carb. The shafts are parallel with the cylinder bore so the arms are easy to connect to with a servo. The fuel inlet is also rotated so it's easy to hook up the fuel line, usuallyit is pointed straight at the throttle shaft.
The second photo shows what you get with the engine when you buy it fromWild Hare;
Stainless steel prop bolts (I have all the bolts changed to stainless, standard chinese bolts are of lesser quality), prop washer, exhaust gasket, spark plug, ignition, spark plug wrench, gasket set, muffler and the engine itself.

i recieved my 3MM 53CC ENGINE 2 days ago, all I can sy is WoW, this really is nice workmanship. The muffler is like nothing I have ever seen before. Absolutly beautiful. If this thing runs as good as it looks, it will be a winner for sure.

The third video on the list. /yak-1.wmv. The cowl is off so you can see the engine and muffler, and what it can do speaks for itself. In the second video, /yak54.wmv, it's pretty windy but it does very well.
Looks like I better get one while the prices are low.

Tom, Sounds good, what happened to the 95 size motor you were playing with? I think your spot on with your approach to the motor situation. We had a good bar stock motor maker here in Brison and now that they are gone (the real Brison not the Canadian version) there is a need for a motor of that class and that price range. I think you need to get these to the LHS you already have the demo motors on sale. Need to get some motors in the air at NDRC and other clubs so the guys can see them oooo and aaaah over them in the pits. Need to get all those lost soul Brison guys switched over that would be a good market.

HOLY CRAP! man tom......you've been a busy man. I hadn't checked the WH site in a while and you have a ton of new stuff coming in. I just came across this thread about the motor (which sounds pretty cool) and i just found out your coming out with a 50cc Sukoi also........that's aweome! I have a new 33% SD yak coming , but for some reason , i still want a 50cc bird as well.....and i think this may be it. I am interested in this motor , sounds very promising for sure , but I"M VERY INTERESTED in this new sukoi. also.......in your own opinion ( or maybe you have some inside news on this ) If the 3mm motor's do well with selling and they hold up to test pilots well , ....are they thinking of possibly tackling the 80-85cc class at all?

Crap..........forgot one more question. Is the new 50cc sukoi going to be the same color scheme or is it an al together different scheme? Or do you plan on having a few different ones? Just curious , i love the 35% scheme alot , just wondering what the 50cc might look like.
