Default RE: BME 110 Xtreme first impressions

I just bought the original prototype BME 110 engine and the prototype BME Ultimate from Todd Blose yesterday. I flew it today. All I can say about the BME 110 is... GOD ALMIGHTY what an engine! I mean that respectfully but truthfully.

The Ultimate weighs about 27 pounds and the BME 110 power with a 27x10 is in a different class in power than the DA100 or the 3W106. The power it put out is just ridiculous, I believe I can finally say I bought the best product imaginable in its class. Plus its light as a feather and it ran COOL. This is not a NEW engine, its the protoype so it has a lot of flights on it but it starts instantly and runs like a sewing machine.

What was really jaw dropping and proved its muscle to me was the authority with which it performed a KE loop. The upline of the loops was incredibly crisp and it climbed with absolutely no deceleration. Whatever speed I began the loop with is the speed I had at the top of the loop. Massive and I mean MASSIVE power for its displacement and weight. It is an absolute rocket on a 27-28# plane.

I will never buy any other engine in this size class unless someone can prove to me that I can get more power with something else.
