BME 110 Xtreme first impressions
I have now run a little over a gallon through my BME 110X and the needles are finally getting dialed in.

I must say that this motor is well worth the 3 month wait it took to get it. It is extremely smooth from idle up through full throttle and never misses a beat. I am getting 6500rpm with 90 degree air and 2500ft altitude. Who knows maybe there is another 100rpm in there as it breaks in. Throttle is very quick and responsive. Vertical performance is sparkling. Hover is at quarter throttle but still responsive. My flying buddy who has a 40% Carden with DA150 couldn't get enough of this plane. Vertical is much better than his. He performed continuous snap rolls going up and turned it into a dot in the sky.
My hat is off to Keith Baker for making a great running engine, with awesome performance and also somehow cutting 2lbs of weight.
Get one for yourself, you won't regret it.
