BME102Evo-Great Motor!!
uh... I'm with SuperJ. While I really like the direction Keith is going, there aint no way in hades he could compete with the likes of Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, or Honda if they ever decided to jump in on the model airplane engine market. None of the current model aircraft 2 cycle gas engine manufacturers could even come close to what these giants could muster in terms of sheer experience and know how. Too bad the market is too small for them to jump in, some of the Kart engines are quite impressive - able to haul my 180lb chicken bucket through a 13 sec quarter mile at 100 mph, and never go over 7k rpm.... umm... and the "pipe" wasnt that large at all...
Oh, and SuperJ, the 110 aint vaporware, its going to happen, and it will be competetive with the DA 100, where the 102 wasnt, yet still be light and powerful enough to add quieting devices without sacrificing performance, probably saving 1 or 2 flying sites for large scale aircraft. While the price tag is still high for what you get, at least he didnt raise the bar like, oh, say, YS would with a new engine. I just wish Keith would jump into the 150cc class so he could get the recognition he deserves....
