What I am saying is this engine doe not make sense for the currenty crop of airplanes that we have out there



So what you are saying is:


The New most powerfull engine is designed for 1.20 planes?


Put it in a 73" wing that has the ground clearance for an 18" prop and find a 18x20 prop? what good would that prop be for hovering?

or build an 80" plane light in the tail? How about an 80" cap with a flat stab? or elveator sevos in the front of the fuse??????? with rods to control the surfaces???

There are plenty of engines out there that give us overkill performance as it is.

This is not making sense.....and some of us do not have the time to build.

You are bashing ARF's, but take a look at the GP EXTRA 300s and let me know how long it would take you to finish that plane in that exact color sceme including the painting of the cowl in checkers with gold trim...........................your budget is $399 and the quality of the finishing must be the same, and throw in a 3 1/2 aluminum spinner and 4-40 hardware!!!!!

I have the time to fix little things on ARF's, i do not have the time to build and finish a plane that would cost me twice as much. And for what? Rediculous speed and power that can't be used? We are reaching the speed envelope already in 78" 80" planes?


42lbs of thrust on a 13 lbs plane..........have fun on the downline braking, landing, and with aileron flutter.


FYI .....a search on the web brings up nothing about a BME 55 extreme.
