Default Cheap speed plane

Here you go, Pred II wings clipped to 38", Jett 50 & short pipe, apc 9.25 pitch. Havent had a tach or radar yet, appears to be going faster than my high dollar q500 with a Nelson 40.
Lots of questions on this forum about what plane to get to go fast. Highly recommend this type of setup for affordable speed. No major mods to the plane besides table sawing the wing. Glassed the inside of the fire wall and glued the hatch on. Tail incidence was way off, didn't check it before I flew. Had to use a heat gun to remove the tail and reset. Had about 2 degrees neg stock. Had to turn the throws way down from recommended.
