RE: BME 115 is Shipping!!!
UPDATE: Since I have now run this engine a little more (4 tank fulls total), I would like to make a few additional comments.
The idle on this engine is very smooth, even down below 1000. It will reliably idle in the 900's and transition instantly.
Transition from idle to WOT is as smooth as glass, both on the ground and in the air no matter how slow or fast you advance the throttle.
As I stated before it will rip a 3w27x10 at very low throttle settings and just make it scream at WOT. On the first flight I probably did a few too many full throttle passes, but I just could not get over that sound.
My prop of choice will probably be the Mejz 28x10 just because my 110/airframe comb really liked it. Looks cool too, but I have a laminated prop coming and will give it a run.
When you are as over powered as I am with a 22+lb plane it really does not matter what prop you choose.
Now it is time to put some fuel through it and see about durability, I have no doubt it will be just as good.
