RE: 1/3 SCALE EXTRA 330L
It is the DR Hobbies version, it is made by the same company that makes the planes
for composite arf. There are several changes on the new DR Hobbies version.
1. The firewall has been moved back so you can run 3W motors without the special spinner.
2. It has an Aluminum spar tube not the floating spar.
3. There is less dihedral in the wings which helps in point manuevers and knife edge flight.
You can see the plane that james is talking about at [link]http://www.bp-rc.com [/link] and in the picture below:
Motor BME 110
Prop BME 27x10
Radio Futaba 9 WCII

Yes, I would say there is an improvement with the DR. I've owned and flown both planes and I would say the rudder to elevator mix is about half as much with this one.

hey Todd,
You are a test pilot for BME engines...RIGHT?!
Do you know if Keith still has intensions to produce the 55 Xtreme? I have tried to talk to him via email and phone, but never get a response.

The last time I talked to Keith about the 55 he was getting the drawings finalized. I have been trying for the last couple of years to get him to make a 150 but I have not had any luck. His is staying so busy with the 50 and the 110 he just doesn't have time. I know what you mean about not being able to get through to him. I usually end up just driving out there.

I WAS AT FIELD AND WATCH TODD HOVER THE 300 THE OTHER DAY. ITS UNREAL THE WAY IT HOVERS. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN HIS 3MIN HOVER ON THERE WEB SITE ITS IS UNREAL YOU NEED TO WATCH IT. GO TO POST#3 FOR THE WEB SITE. THE BME 110 DIDN'T GET HOT IN THE 3MIN HOVER THATS ONE GREAT ENGINE ON A GREAT PLANE. I WISH EVERYONE COULD COME TO WACO AND SEE IT FLY. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL JAMES A. GUINN
