Jeff,

The 3 needle carb that Keith designed takes care of 100% of the issues that had been present with the 115. I've had the opportunity to fly with both Altavillan and RTK since I've returned and can truthfully state that the 3 needle carb blows the doors off the reed block modifications and carb drilling that is being done by some. RTK has the carb and Altavillan has been doing reed and carb mods. Altavillan will graciously accept a 3 needle carb in a heart beat, and so would I.

I have absolutely no idea what's in the works with the new induction design but I'm all for a bolt on solution that every current owner of a 110-115 will be able to take advantage of. Matter of fact, I'll be one of the first in line. Where do I sign up? The 115 is still the lightest 100cc class engine by a very large margin and when running correctly beats every other 100cc class engine on the market for power, hands down. The 110 isn't a slouch by any definition of the word either.

Kudos to the two gentlemen that stepped up to the plate to buy an existing company and accept control of the previous owners problems in the process. That's a class act and one to be recognized. This acceptance of product issues places them miles above those that want to make a quick buck while publically disclaiming any responsibility or connection with BME. Especially those that for years kissed serious BME butt when BME was in business but have been quick with the back stab now that he's not.

brn2fly,

Thank you and to your partner for jumping in and doing what needed to be done. One of the great things about this hobby is that when manufacturers go the mile to take care of the customers, the customers return the loyalty and both the manufacturer/distributor and the customer benefit from the growth that results from mutual trust. I'm looking forward to your opening of the doors.

Pat
