ORIGINAL: Mustang Fever

Bet lunch in the Latin Quarter on that?
lol

Realistically speaking, if I can keep the weight below 3.5 pounds, this thing will be very peppy. At full throttle on a 4S, the motor is pumping out 900W. That's almost 300 watts per pound, which is in the extreme performance category.

Indeed, final weight will be a key factor... I remember Mike's Shrike .40 that was powered by a SJ50, which is in another league ... Well, I won't speak about the OPS .60 powered Shrike .10 (seen on this very web site) [X(], but all those did not have these retracts...
