Dick / folks,

I am going to put a MVVS 160 Gasoline in an OTOP Pattern plane (because I have a bad allergy to the oil in nitro and I don;t want to spend $$$$ of dollars on batteries.) With carefull installation it should come out just under 11lbs. E-Setup's ont he OTOP come out right on 11lbs, glow at 10 or less... so I should be able to make it work. I don't think I can make 11lbs with the stock header and pipe as they are quite heavy. Is there anyone making a light wieght Alu header and a composite pipe? Anyone have contact details where to get them?

How about engine mount? Should I use a Hyde mount - and if so which one / is there one - that fits the MVVS? Or should I just hard mount?

The MVVS 160 on the Showtime with the stock pipe and manifold is excellent - that is my knock around airplane.
