One thing about the Jett 35 engines though is you need to stay on top of the rear bearings need to change them every 2 gallons of fuel or so to stay safe. The case design along with the crankshaft size has the bearing on the small size. This coupled with the power it makes has them wearing out faster than normal. I run the Jett 35 LX rear exhaust engines and they scream around 21,500 on 8x7 APC props with the marine pipe.
here is a video of my old Jett 35 in a LR1 plane from hobby lobby. I didn't know i was being filmed anyway here is what one can do.

Hi airraptor,
I had been watching your video over and over again, I love it . I ordered Jett BSE 35 side exhaust (Dub made me waiting for more than 2 weeks) I don't know if It gives me the power like your plane, I hope it does. About my Nova Rex R26CR I try the smallest prop 8x4 around 18600 rpm (I hope Macs setup give me 20,000 rpm), I am more than happy if it could turned 8x5 at 20,000 rpm, I wasted money on this engine for my setup. Thanks for comment
