Interesting idea. In Waco either last year or year before last I called a flight for a guy who had a Wren SS in his, seemed to fly pretty good. The main guy I fly with has one with a P-120SX, top speed doesn't seem to be much higher than the SS powered one. The 120 to gets it off our grass strip in about 400', not sure if the Rabbit would be enough to get out of there and still get it stopped if I had to abort a take off. I will say this, Flashes are built like tanks, his has suffered through years of flying almost exclusively from grass and has held up well.
