MZ202 Engine protoyped for the New Ultralight Butterfly In response to my question about the MZ202 Larry replied:"I think the MZ202 will be more powerful than the 503 and less powerful thanthe 582. On the Ultralight model it should be a powerhouse....with anelectric starter...."Here are some pics of the install.Very affordable with great power to weight ratio.Quick build kit less than 100 hrs.Awesome little engine.Birdy flew my little white 503 powered Butterfly at Cooma ( 2005 I"m guessing ), 503 rotax AC Tail and no pre-rotator, he didn"t like the blades. At the time they were 21",9" disc. He told me that with a decent set of blades, it would be a good little gyro. (ref http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG2yOn5XNzc )I have 53 videos on youtube 13,059 views of this video being the most popular.I put a set of 23 1/2 ft Pats on, that pushed the weight up by 30lbs, plus the pilot weight went up too. ;D I"d pushed the pedals to the forward possie, so by the time Birdy flew it again (now Blue) with the new blades on it at Lameroo, it was wicked fun to fly. Unfortunately Birdy only flew a gentle lap, well Birdy can explain if he cares to. Now Larry is running a lighter airframe, with elec pre-rotator to drive the Dragon Wing rotors up and over their hump. DW"s are very hard to hand start, due to the nature of its profile, which makes for a highly efficient blade and very light, the region of 43lbs.This little number would be dynomite now!More powerfull than a 503 rotax, with a pre-spinner, weighs approx 115 kgs empty weight and sporting very light and efficient Dragon Wing Rotors.www.thebutterflyllc.com
