That's fine, and if you can buy a BME 44 new, then go for it. It's not even listed on the BME website. I am talking released, shipping engines I can actually go out and buy. Read the fine print too.. I don't think the spec included the ignition module, which is about 6 oz. Manufacturers loved to leave that info off in the past until we all shamed them into putting the all-up weight on the spec sheet.

I am sure BME will put out a 55 soon, and no doubt there is other stuff in the works that is lighter... MVVS puts out some nice light stuff. DA is working on new stuff too though... so we all get to benefit.

Right now DA is it in the 30-60 class for power, weight and availability.
