BME,3W, or DA?
Hmmm....Big DA contingent....How does one come up with dependability? Is it broken cranks? ignition issues? bearing issues? what?
I have to admit I'm biased as I'm a BME guy but I never seem to have a problem with my motors. Last year I did see 2 DA150's break cranks in the air though. Now, that doesn't mean theres a problem but the point is whats dependability? Everybody has problems.
When it comes back to the original question though they are all very similar....they all start easy, the DA100 is CURRENTLY strongest of the 3, response is all good, all are reliable. Which brings you back to the differences....for me thats weight. A lighter plane flies better period.
When the BME Xtreme is out it will be strongest in class so it will then have a double advantage of being lightest and strongest.....they all run, start, and take your plane up though.
