The BK's are fat because of the pump. RD pumps don't handle pressure very well from what I've read and a taller reaction chamber would just cut down on the efficiency of the unit. Being fatter compensates.

I think there is a little more to it than that. Here is a link to the BK home page from Germany where they are built if you want more information.

Hummm, I'm not really pulling more out of that site than what I had initially stated. It's mostly splitting hairs on the forums.

Anyway, there's a thread on RC about a DIY needlewheel Dart that Spazz is working on and there's some pretty detailed info on the workings of BK in there.

Looks like they are!

I was thinking about going with a velocity... guess I'll stick to the NS and HD series blue-lines.

(Have made changes to original specs/design etc...) thread no longer applicable. Thanks.

Chris
