Default MT-62

I don't recall seeing any threads devoted to the MT62 so I figured I'd start one. I just bought one from Thunderbolt RC up here in Canada. It looks to be a very good engine, especially when you consider the price. If I recall it weighs around 63~64 ounces complete with muffler, ign., and standoffs. I opted to buy a Zenoah plate mount to go with it as well as seen lying beside the engine in some of the pictures. When I ordered the engine I was asked if I would like to try one of MTs new mufflers with it, which I did. I looked inside and the pipe goes all the way inside and has holes drilled in it to allow the exhaust to travel from the can into the pipe. I doubt I will ever have to worry about this pipe falling off the muffler. The carb is a Walbro HDA with 15.08 venturi. The arms are the standard small Walbro ones which I removed and added my own. The engine was also available with the standard two pipe muffler. Another nice thing is the lower end, cylinder, and piston etc. are the same as the G62 so any mount or muffler for the G62 will fit as well as the Zenoah engine parts. Not much more I can say at this point as it is -30C outside so I won't be able to run it for 3 months or so. I did see a video here on RCU of a Great Planes Giant Reactor with a G62 in it and it looked to perform very good and sounded nice.
