Default Forrest Gump was right

Ahem. . to set the record straight. . there are NO published numbers for the 110Xtreme at the moment, simply because there is only ONE of them in existence. It's on the nose of the BME test plane being flown by Todd Blose.

Any other "Xtreme's" out there, and there are a few 106 prototypes running around, are NOT the final product.

Now. . as for Tim Durbins statement about power compared to a DA100. . it is of course. . total hogwash (as are many other "facts" he regurgitates)

As for release of the 110, a conversation with Keith on Monday revealed that parts delivery is on schedule, and the motors should be shipping soon.

As for "power", Keith has mentioned 6300 with a 28-10 Menz as 'normal' power output for the prototype, wth the 27-10 Menz-s and 28-10 Mejzlik well in excess of 6700+. Remember, these are fully warmed up power numbers, usually after a flight, and not the "it's cold so it's gonna make more power on the first pull" numbers so often quoted.

Remember. . 3.8 lbs WITH plugs and prop washer/nut, 4.5 with mufflers and ignition (same as a ZDZ80, and a 3" larger prop), as powerful (if not more so) than the current 3w-106. This is going to be a VERY hard engine to beat when it comes to a total package of light weight, power, smoothness, and dependability.
