If anybody do a search about BME engines the same names always appear either promoting, defending or trying to make you buy these engines. I asked the same question in different thread a little while ago..... So much trouble defending an engine or hundreds of posts strongly pointing people in this brand direction makes you wonder.
I consider the BME light weight quite an achivement. Will I buy a BME 115?... no in fact I just bought a DA 100. I wonder how many DA 100 have been sold compare to BME´s 110 and 115?
The BME 110 is not what I will call a succes story, just do a search and anybody can find why. regarding the BME 115, many of them will have to be sold (in the range of 1000´s ), and some time will have to pass (talking about years) to even approach the reliability record of the DA 100. That´s the only reason I choose the DA, I am not really in the position to be a engine test bed at this time and just wanted something that keeps in the air and trouble free.
Regarding the power BME has been releasing engines with bigger displacement every time 100, 102, 105, 110, 115. The 115 is more powerful than the DA 100 Not kidding IT HAS TO BE. Let´s see what will happen when DA gets a new model out a 115, 125 or whatherever they put out.
In this engine race something like ZDZ did with the 80 gets all my respect. What I mean is not having to rely in more displacement to make more power but using new technology (design) instead!!!
Finally the DA is not the only option, If I was in a different position myself, like living in the states where I can have access to engine service easier, or if I have some people around me flying giant scale that can help me in case I have an engine trouble I might even consider the BME because the weight savings alone....
