Default RE: Webra Speed .61 vs. the .50GT?

Thanks guys
With the .50 it balances near the aft limit, so the added wt. of the .61 will be no problem...will be welcomed actually, and that's another reason I have been thinking of using it. Right now, the batt. is up in the tank compt. and I might have to move it back, so I don't think it will be nose heavy if I do that.

(a friend had a Fitzpatrick .61 in his and that was definitely nose heavy! )

I think I'll try a Jettstream for the Speed .61 for "packaging" reasons besides, I think a full len. pipe will hit the wing...and probably cause more drag, huh? (it's just a std. side exh. FF )

Yesterday I ordered the .55's carb...it has a 13mm neck...same as the .50 and .61
I was thinking of using it on the .50, but I think it will work even better on the .61 especially w/ the Jettstream.

The stock .50 / 61 carb has an 8mm venturi and the .55's is 9.5mm so...I'm hoping for good things...[sm=thumbup.gif]
