A whiplash its not going to be as the whip is a all out design tractor type. The pusher types have their disadvantages, and prop bite is one of them. Regardless, the North Star with retracts will be quicker than most with a good engine, and still have reasonable landing character and a fun airframe. ENJOY

I have flown that plane from pavement with wheels and it's a fun plane but not a speed plane. However if you want to build one of Laddies planes I would say build the Force1. With the motor you have it will really scoot. I flew one of those for a season a long long long long time ago.... good times.
