Take a 110, double it, make it weigh the same as a 150. . . no reason for a 150, DesertRat.

That's the projected future plans for a "large' engine from BME. . 4-bangers run smoother, and just sound SOOO good. Projected weight for the "220" is about 8-8.5 lbs, the same as the DA150, and a good 2-3 lbs lighter than anything else in that size range. . .More power, less weight, smoother running . .sounds like a plan to me.

One thing you have to remember, though. . 90% of the Gasser market is 110 cc's and down. I'm working on a 40% project to be powered by the BME Xtreme. . to prove the viability of the combination. I'll be using either a Fiberclassics 40% Extra 330l or my own Scratch Built 40% Extra 260. If an ultralightweight 110cc motor on canisters can properly power and balance a plane of that size, it will open the market between 35-40% for similar combinations. Personally, I think the 40% stuff is way overpowered, AND overweight. with 35% planes coming in around 22-23 lbs these days, there's no reason for a 14% larger aircraft to weigh 60% more (at least)

Guess we won't know for sure till some IDIOT (like ME) gives it a shot.
