Default RE: BME 110 Extreme Feedback....

Cmon Dick, sounds like you've already been into the 'nog a bit too much. . .

Here we have smaller, lighter cylinders that displace more CC's yet have no overheating issues compared to the competitors cylinders (some of which have a deserved reputation for running HOT). The competitors items are at least 50% heavier/piece, make no more power, and radiate off about the same amount of BTU's (Maybe). So, somewhere inside all of this is proof that smaller, thinner, lighter, and more radiant works just as well, if not better than, "conventional" designs. Now, Dick, we all know how much you like knocking things off pedestals (as stated several times) but you're aiming just a bit low here. You might try learning from this example of a different design working just as well, if not better, than the "other guys", instead of holding the line on "your way is the only way". There's no pedestal to knock things off of this time, just a better way of doing things. I'd think you'd at least grant that instead of digging in your heels and braying.

The design works, it works VERY well, and there are NO overheating issues with it. I was out blasting around today with a pair of new cylinders on my 106cc motor, just having a ball and it never sagged one time. Less than an hours run time on it and I showed it NO mercy. I even had to lean the bottom end a little bit because it was a tad too rich. I even managed to get in a 1-minute TR (Okay, I'm no TOC jock). Did it burble, bobble, sag, or get weak? Nope.

Case closed, the cylinders work just fine on the BME Xtreme's. Now, flip the prop and fly!
