Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Finallly got a maiden flight. I was using a GMS .76 engine with an apc 10x8 pusher. Performance was actually pretty decent I estimate maybe 80+ mph looked slow, but then again its not a turbine, the engine tacked about 13,300 on the ground which is probally a little above what it was intended to run. I was also impressed that the plane can actually knife edge. Here's a link to the maiden flight, and following I show how short of a take off run it can do. My field is pretty rough grass as you can see. On the first landing the nose wheel turned in, thats why it came to a sudden stop after the first landing. Zagzoo my APC prop has the letters pointing backwards, so when you put the prop on the plane the letters are visible (just like a normal prop).

Here's a link to the maiden flight.
