Thanks for expanding on my overly simplified weight comparison. I am new to gas engines and often forget important things. This engine will actually be my first gas engine.

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
You caught that I missed the numbers also, right? Looks like we are closer to 3.5pounds RTF than 3.

2.1oz motor
ignition to 4 oz.
pitts to 6 oz.
battery to 4 oz.
switch to .6 oz.
mount to 6 oz.

So it's more like 3.5 pounds.
