Kris,

The rpm spread from the best to worst motor from any manufacturer is going to be 300-400 rpm. If you want to believe the lies being told over on the latest ZDZ 80 thread it's more like 800 rpm. The rpm for any wood prop from the same manufacturer is going to easily be another 200+ rpm. So arguing even a 200 rpm difference between 2 specific motors is a waste of time. Now if someone wants to buy a dozen of each motor and send them to me I'll be glad to look at the average difference between them. I just hate hard work but I could force myself to do it. Do some 3W 106's turn 6000 and others turn 6400, probably yes. I've got 4 DA's they have about 250 rpm spread. Do you really think that all BME's will turn the exact same rpm. Now I'm not bad mouthing BME, did my best to talk Keith out of a motor to replace the ZDZ in my Troybuilt light. I just can't justify/afford another 35% class motor, I've got 6 of them already. It will be interesting to see the numbers when they get them out. Might have to buy one anyway.
