Status: offline 		I put a OS.32 in one and it runs in the high 120s. It was kind of a clumsy build in the turtle deck, cockpit area. I built the fuselage thinner than stock, but the wing was built stock.
As a low winger with a high thrust line, hand launches always try to zoom for the dirt and I've piled it up a few times. With a rolling take off you shouldn't have any trouble.
I think your biggest consideration will be getting a 6 ox Jett tank squeezed in there.

Status: offline 		Their 8oz std fits in some tight spaces if you have the length, it's 2" OD. The flattish "CG" tank will actually entirely hide in the depth of a Demon wing if you move the forward spar, so turned on its side it is a good candidate when you have depth but not width [ i.e. where you touch bottom but leave the sides alone.. ;-) ]. Mind you at just under 6oz it will also get sucked dry in less than three minutes at full tilt.

LMBO............these things were actually fast for their time with old K&B 40 baffle engines.
this one should be a real hoot
and if the 50 doesn't do the job, the 56LX will scare the crap out of the tail.

Well, if you have the choice then why ****foot around - in with the .56!


(of course, in all seriousness, they both would rock..)

Na, just build a compartment for the batt pack nearest to the rear as possible, or re-arrange the servo placement, but I'm sure you already thought of this, keep us posted, I'm eager to see how you make out.
