Uh . .John. . you MIGHT want to tell that "its not competition for a 150, any 150" stuff to the guys who did vertical drag races against my Composite-Arf with a BME110 on the nose. They had a Piped 3W150 AND a Da150 on their planes. . . All three planes ran Mejzlik props, 28-10 for the BME, 32-10's for the 150's. Starting side-by-side on the runway, and GO!!!!

Score: BME110 -2 .. DA/3W150s'- ZERO!! By 5-10 plane lengths at the top.

You guys REALLY need to re-think how these models work .. turns out the BME110 on a 40% is a BETTER option than a 150, not only because of the VERY good power-weight ratio, but also because of the MUCH better flight performace due to the plane being substantially (at least 5-7 lbs usually) lighter. Even my "heavy" plane, at 34 lbs, can stay right with a 3-bladed 150 on pipes. . I know. . I've done the research and have the planes on hand. The "light" plane, full of gas, is just unbeatable.

In the enclosed pic. . .on the left, the "heavy" plane, which used to have a piped 3W TOC150/3-blade on it. . was 41 lbs, is now 33.5 with the much lighter BME110/canisters on board. . on the right, the "28 lbs WONDER". .weighing a mere 28.5 with canister exhaust and its NOSE heavy. Both are outstanding performers!!!
