Let me get this straight. This engine is only ONE ounce heavier then OS 1.60 FX? Is that possible?

The 1.6FX is 2.7 pounds with light pitts muffler and motor mount RTF

The BME is 2.1 + 3oz ignition + 4oz pitts muffler + 3oz ignition battery + 3oz mount = 3 pounds RTF

I think you would run a 16oz fuel/gas tank with both motors.

You may be tempted to run a heavier prop on the BME and a larger spinner, but this is not necessarily so. If you compared the 1.6FX with 18x6w(4.75oz) & 3oz spinner against a BME with 22x10 or similar wood prop and no spinner BME would have the advantage.[8D]

Someone correct me here if I missed on my numbers.
