There is a guy at our field that has a BCMA 50 on a C.G. Ultimate bipe. I don't know the scale but it's pretty big, probably 72" w.s. and it rocks that plane. Take into consideration he is probably the best pilot out there

. He absolutley swears by it and replaced a D.A. 50 with it. Funny thing, Most of the "good old boys" at our sight are tainted against the D.A.'s but all I've ever heard about them is good but they sure are pricey. I think some of the lesser known manufacturers are stepping up their game to get a bigger piece of the pie. If a company puts out a reliable product AND backs it up with good customer support they're in the game. Me personally, I'm not a "name brand" kind of guy. If I can get a comparable engine to one of the big dogs and save $200.00, hey, the cowl covers it up anyway[8D].
As always, it pays to do the comparison thing. That said, would I buy a D.A....heck yeah! That's why I love this sight.
The ZDZ is in the mail. Hope to put'er up next weekend

.
Happy flyin' all.
