Default RE: The ultimate motor for a Magnum R??

Could the Jett 60 BSE LX be reworked to turn a 10X7 in the high 19,s or early 20Ks if it was running on mid nitro and a full wave pipe?
That's an odd choice of prop if you want to fly fast. Great if you want to climb straight up at about 125 mph but not so good for top speed.

The Weston motor may look ordinary, but it runs like a demon and is quite nice-mannered. Mine is new and tachs just over 20k on a stock APC 9-6 on 10%. If you want anything other than top end the 60LX or the West .50 are good choices. Wanna go faster? Get the rear exhaust version, and modify the fiberglass canopy section to accept an enclosed pipe. That's my plan for the winter, I have a Magnum ready for surgery.
