Default BME 55Xtreme update

FYI: the OS 120 stroker is 2 pounds (32oz). It will be interesting to see the long-term reliability and durability of this engine, which is clearly pushing the limits of what metal can stand up to. Besides, so many planes in this size range need nose weight anyway, so why risk using a new engine that hasn't proven itself when you might just have to add more lead up front anyway?
