Default RE: BME 44 & 50 Same mount Dimensions???

ORIGINAL: J.R.ROSS

I have a Aeroworke 29% Edge with a bme 44 on it but have alwaya wanted more power for verticle climb out of a hover . I juse bought a Greatplanes Pitts and am thinking of putting the 44 on it and getting a 50cc for the 540 Edge . Does the BME 50CC bolt right in same mount and have all the same outer dimensions? Or if I have to modify the mount should I get the DA50??? I had the DA 100 and loved it but the BME 44 has been a Great eng. also So Please give youy input . Thanks, J.R.Ross
I'd hate to be quoted on this, but I do believe that the two engines are physically compatible...

I think the main difference is that the head of the 50 is bored out more than the 44, making the 50 slightly lighter, and slightly more powerful...

I'm not a BME expert and could be way off.

Good luck!
