RE: BME extreme VS. DA 100???
Hi Bodyworks--
Here is my story. My buddy and I both built Comp Arf 2.6's about a year and a half ago. They were set up similarly using all 8611's and cannisters on both. My plane came in at 26 lbs. 5 oz. and his came in at 28 lbs. 8 ozs. Even though his DA would pull it through the Intermediate sequence without problem, that two pounds is always a bonus. I use to fly a Hangar 9 Sukhoi with the BME 105. I fly with six guys that fly Giant Scale airplanes that all have DA engines in them and we do a lot of drag racing. We would get two or three planes out there in a houver and someone would yell go and we would all go to full throttle and see who would accelerate best. My Sukhoi weighed 24 pounds and although, the 105 ran good, the DA's would beat me every time. When I got my 2.6 flying I only had to houver and accelerate one time with my BME 110 and no one wanted to drag race any more. Go figure! The BME 110 has awsome power. Be sure you baffle the cowl with a large exit hole, preferable with an air damn in front of the exit hole. Keep it slightly on the rich side and you will love it!!
BME is a smaller operation than DA, so sometimes you have to make several phone calls to get a hold of someone, but if you leave your name and number they will call you back.
