other than that i useless for info as i didnt have the bottle to fly my mag straight off with the westy
Maidened it on Saturday with a 40. but i've already take that out to upgrade to something bigger.
Honestly, the West is a damned fine engine and runs like clockwork. With a 9x6 up front it's not really any quicker than a good pattern model. It seems faster than it really is because of the size but it's something that you'll get used to fairly quickly - and I suspect that this will be case regardless of the engine you install. Don't waste your time, just get that West in there - you don't have to fly it at full throttle all the time.
You'll know when you're getting used to flying it as it runs out of fuel sooner.
