Default 110cc bme for 1/3 laser?

either the current BME102 or the Xtreme would be plenty for either plane.

I just finished a Fiberclassics 2.6m (102 span) Extra 330lx. Final weight, even with a BME102 on the nose (with canisters) was almost 27 lbs. Because of the canisters, though I realized a big power boost, and it's swinging a 28" prop at 6300 (HOT, only one gallon through the motor) and the little Fiberclassics is up, away and GONE out of sight vertical in a big hurry.

An older BME would be a better motor for the Laser, since the power would be a bit tamer and this is a substantially smaller plane than my FC330. BUt, also, there IS a left stick on the transmitter. On the bipe, you GOTS to have nose weight, remember, and bipes have short noses. I'd check CG for how much weight it takes to balance, then buy the appropriately weighted engine. . either a BME or DA100
