RE: BME extreme VS. DA 100???
Bodyworks - the service issue aside - I have found in the cases where I used the 110 (Carden 35% Edge, Comp Arf 2.6) the engine in both cases was very light on stock mufflers OR cans. In the Carden we added nose weight (easier than moving the servos) and on the comp arf we had to move a lot of stuff as far forward is it goes (not so much fun) so from a rigging standpoint you might want to have a closer look. I would post some pics but I did not have a camera at the time we were doing those so I have none. The DA or 3W balanced perfect and let us mount everything in a normal fashion.
Sometimes lighter is not always better. The BME 110 is a very nice machine however, definitely more power than the DA, about the same as the 3W QQ106.
I am not big on tach readings...but the QQ106 left bruises on the back of my girlfriends legs from holding the stabs during a full power run in... I have never seen that happen before!
