JBrannon, THANKS for the info and video.

I'm in the process of stripping my "Normal" CA330 and putting a BME110 on it as well as having one on my lightened version. Target weight is 33 lbs, the same as Bills, with NiMH packs and full length canisters. CF wing tubes are available from DA if you want to shave another 12 ounces off the plane.

One techinique to try, concerning spinner backplates, is to drill them for the 3W pattern, then countersink the back of the plate, then use screws and basically bolt the prop to the backpalte. After that the anti-rotation pins in the stock hub will engage the backplate and keep everything from spinning. This is especially useful on spinners like Pete's Spinners, that use 6 blts on the periphery of the spinner to attach to the backplate, but I also use it for my other spinners now. ZERO slippage with this method. . .I use #10 fine-thread decking or drywall screws through the backplates, 4 of them, and use the other 2 holes to engage the anti-rotation pins.

The Mejzlik 28-10 is a great prop for this combination with standard mufflers, but if you go to a canister setup, the 29-10 is a better bet by far (where noise is a factor). I'm using one right now on my 28.5 lbs plane. Vertical suffers just slightly because the engine is loaded down about 500 rpm from the 28-10's, but the plane is much quieter and the prop does not sing as badly. Other good props are the BME28-10, Menz-s 28-10 and Biela 28-10, all of which I've tried. The BME prop is a little bit noisier, but pulls slightly better than the Menz-s, and is a FULL 28" in diameter compared to the 27 5/8" menz.

Best of luck to Bill with his plane. . . and CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !
