Thought I seen that some one was running the new BME 150. Any picks, prop, rpm numbers yet? Thanks.

I believe Tom over at BME stated that the one they we're testing and still flying was a complete beast! he also mentioned he had already sold a few , but i haven't seen anyone post any info on them yet.

There is only one 150 running at this time that I am aware of. They have not sold any. Out of the box it turned a Mej 30x12 about 400 RPM less than my well broken in DA on cannisters. The engine runs awesome and cut 2 pounds out of my plane. My 42% Dalton 260 now weighs 35 pounds. This was a baseline engine to see how it went. They will be tweeking the design to get some more woer out of it. I don't know if there is a release time frame set yet. I am breaking it in on a 30x10 Mej currently and it turns 6100. The last flight I could tell it was starting to pick up some RPM so I may need to tack again.

Let me just say this motor is not intended for a 40+lb 40% plane. It is really more suited toward light 40%ers or porky 35% planes. It weighs the same as a 3W 106 but has WAY more power. What amazed me the most is how it fired right up and ran with no burble regardles of what attitude it was flown.

why fly that is a very good update to us RCuerrrrssss tks

I am taking it to Clover Creek IMAC contest next week and will be competing in Intermediate. I flew it last weekend at a contest. Tom plans to have the next test version at my house when I get back so we can tell how things have changed.

with the same weight as my DLE111 I ordered a BME 150 from Tom thinking I can run it a bit rich and wouldnt over heat or die , I had to run the DLe111 about right to get power but my I felt my Extreme flight Yak 110' was just too big for the DLE111, has anyone done this? like put the light bme 150 on a 35% plane?

It's been done and it works great. Someone with a 35% Wild Hare did it I believe.

I have one in a comp arf 35% extra 330 and its just awesome. Unlimited vertical. It like a 30x10 prop but a 3 blade would be better for ground clearance on a 35% plane. It still comes in at less weight than a chinese 100cc powered plane.

On a bigger 35% bird like the EF yak , the BME 150 would be the best choice possible. IF i was building that bird , there would be no question about it.

You don't need another engine.... Gary might with the big Yak though.

I would have to go with that one as well...
