The "drop" on my headers, from flange to CENTER of the header tube where it goes into the canister, is 2" on the 102's, and 2 1/4" on the 106/110's. I used the flanges that DA has for the BME 102 cylinders, used the 22mm KS elbow available from DA, a 2" extension on the outlet of the elbow and expanded the outlet of the extension to a wider diameter (using heat and a pair of pliers to 'stretch" the metal a little) so that it matched the diameter of the canister coupler. The "50cc" canisters from PEFA work very well with the BME102, but for 105's and 110 Xtremes I recommend the 70 or 75cc rated canisters.

As for weight, I serously discredit the claims of 22-23 lbs planes that are floating around out there. In reality they are probably closer to 25 or so, and I've heard of weights as high as 28.5 on some planes.

As for quality??? for $995 it's a very good piece. If the price was still $1495 I'd expect much better. Best bet is to look the plane over carefully when you get it, be aware of the shortcomings, and take care of them before you beging installinghardware.

BTW, I put a 110 in my plane, and changed the exhaust to suit it. . it was such a rocket, even at 26 lbs, that I put a "bored" 102 on it, using the 110Xtreme jugs and pistons to give 106cc of displacement. It's STILL a rocket, but he dedicated 110cc engines are just a touch more powerful, and REAL animals in the air. NO SUCH THING as too much fun!!!
