Pssssssssst....................................... ...............the..............horse............. ......... is............................DEAD

Heck Pat if I knew you were lookin for a powerful single..... I have this slightly used...... light as a feather......57 1/2 cc BME I'll be happy to part with

Hmm,,, Now that sounds like a good idea for me to think about.

Altivillan--I think it already parted

I've been doing it for 35 years. I just leave the answering machine full

Hey, do you think we can cover that one cylinder and make a 57 & 1/2. Might be worth trying

Just dab a coat of sticky glue on it and shake it around in a box full of sand and Pat will feel right at home with his new single

This horse will never be dead......it's too much fun....we still have another month at least.[sm=lol.gif]


RTK...try it. try it. you'll love it. It's always a good idea to get vacations, health insurance, and a new secretary... I did the same thing and love it.

For some reason I keep focusing on that NEW secretary thing Hope my wife is not looking over my shoulder.

Well... I suppose sending in my temperamental, aggravating BME 50 would be a waste of time, eh?

So, what (BESIDES a DA 50) would be a good 50cc gasser for a GP Patty? I'm ready to treat myself to a new model; been wanting the Patty for a long time, but have never been able to trust that BME 50....

Hi Steve---Take a serious look at these http://www.taurus-engines.com/taurus_ts52.html The most user friendly/strong running gas engine I've had----& I've had a few!---I fly with a friend who has one in a GP Patty, AWESOME!---I have mine in a GP Ultimate, again AWESOME!---

Tande, you beat me to it. The Taurus is the best 50 on the market by any standard. You absolutely get what you pay for.

Hi Pat---Just try'in to spread the word!---

tande & Pat,

I have looked at those, and corresponded with another RCU'er (camss69) who has one.

Definitely on the "short list"... thanks.

How does that big radial mount fit up against the motor box/firewall? Seems to me like it is as big or bigger, and would cause mounting headaches.

4", outside to outside. It's not difficult to work with at all.

Anyone heard anything lately?

Does anyone know if this means those that prepaid for the new 50, 55, 58 or whatever may well not see an engine? Since I don't get email or phone call responses I wonder what I can do to get my money back? I'm worried, not that the engine is significantly delayed, but that I may well lose my money. Does anyone have FIRST HAND information on whether those that prepaid will get an engine or their money back?

A reasonable question. Perhaps the silence will be broken.

Who is the Contact Person for the BME engine manufacturing? Am I to assume through this forum , that the old BME email and phone number are not of much use now?

I pre-paid my 115 at the end of July. This was right at the time Keith was experimenting with the 3 needle carb. I did receive my motor at the end of September. It did not have the 3 needle carb but did have the modified 2 needle. Engine works great and I am happy with it. But for a long time I was a little concerned that my money was gone. From everything I read here and the FG site, Keith would not ever rip anyone off. But communication is needed, and only Keith can do that.

I have no ax to grind with BME but wouldn't have one of their engines. I don't like to send stuff off and not get it back within a reasonable time. That's why I fell out with RCIGN.

I had a three year old a long time ago that for a little while liked to always yell "I want it NOW!" It didn't take long to fix that.

So you went to a new vendor for a three year old???[X(]

Nope, just corrected the impulsiveness. The lesson was a little painful...for the three year old... but it was well learned. Patience, perseverance, and delayed gratification were developed and now the three year old is 30 and a D.A. instead of a self centered brat.
