GUYS don't get your undies bunched!!.......Be creative, move radio equipment forward (like the elev servos and run pull pull) or maybe cut some lightening holes in the rear of the frame. MOST of the R-planes that are out there are designed heavy anyway. I know that it makes you feel better if the plane is structurally heavy and stiff!!????

Let me put it to you this way.......
the H9 1/4 scale cap 232 wasn't meant to have a gasser on it, but lots of people went that route anyway. I did. Most of them ended up WAY too heavy. I took out that which wasn't needed on this plane and ended up at 13.5 pounds. That is about what this plane weighed with the YS 1.40 on it. Now IMAGINE the same plane with the new BME 55 on it weighing in at 12.5 pounds............................HOLY ***** !!!!! Now you are truelly getting the thrust to weight ratio up there like the BIG BOYS. GUESSING but 32 lbs thrust to 12.5 lbs of plane.......

THIS ENGINE IS GOING TO BE GREAT, just quit using your tunnel vision.
