I have a Hanger 9 Extra 260 and had the Evolution 35 in it and wished it was a pound or so lighter. It flew well but didn't have the Vert. I wanted so I took it out and now waiting for the BME 55, that should make it sing. Does anyone know more about the 55 then what the BME web site is telling us, like whats the HP? The 3W-55 has 6 1/2 HP but is very heavy. if the BME 55 has 6 1/2 HP, LOOK OUT!!
Does anyone know more about the BME 55?

They did it with the 110, so I think they can do it with the 55.

BME 55 is 34-36 ounces depending on the carb used. Backplate mount and side reed valve induction. 24x8 bolly prop at 7200 rpm on stock muffler. 6500 rpm on menz 24x8 and stock muffler. Tuned mufflers add 600+ rpm. Cost is 579.00 with Falkon ignition.
The engine weighs 34-36 ounces. That is everything minus only the ignition and muffler. The ignition weighs 3 ounces. Mufflers will weigh 4 ounces and up depending on the application. The engine runs great with idle rpm as low as 800 and silk smooth
The BME 55 is the most powerful and lightest engine in the 50cc class. The pics are of the prototype so the mount will change and we may offer a rear induction version also. The prop hub can be used as a single,two,three,four or six bolt configuration. The center boss is 10mm and the bolt pattern is the same as 3W and DA. The crankshaft was carefully balanced using tungsten for optimum performance and low vibration.
