MR Hanson,
I agree tunnel vision is sticking to ARFs. That is why I have only done the one. I build eveything I fly other than the H9 CAP.


Tommy,
I understand that which you are saying, but look at what BME did with the 110, it weighs just a little more than 3.5 pounds. The only reason the 55 isn't UNDER 2 pounds is because even though it is only half the size of the 110, It still has the majority of the 110 crankcase. So physically, it is more than half of a 110.

If done correctly, any engine can run smoothly regardless of it's weight.

You last comment states that you are happy with the "HEAVY WEIGHTS". Just imagine shaving another 2 pounds off of a 1/3 scale plane. Imagine the light wing loading. You could use canisters without becoming over weight. You could add 10 more oz of fuel AND smoke oil. You could mount a digi CAM corder permanantly................
