But if you look at the BME 50, then you have eliminated that 6 oz weight difference, and maybe even shed a little weight over the MOKI. Of all the BME engines I have seen, I dont think you can make any of the any lighter. Thats just something to look at.
Hey, it's possible. I have a BME44 but I don't believe that it's any lighter than my DA50. Does anyone have the real weights, with
all of the components as I have listed above (see first reply at the top)? BME, RCShowcase, DA and others are generally a bit optimistic in their published weights. They strip everything possible off the engine to provide the lowest number. Gotta include spark plug, propnut & washer, motor mount/standoffs w/bolts, ignition, battery, switch harness, not to forget a "real" muffler (not a spit diverter).
At any rate, I would be surprised if 6 oz on a 15 lb plane is noticeable to all but the very best pilots. I'm not one of them,
