phjocker:
This bird with a 40-52 2stroke engine would be a faster than average sport plane with a 60" span, and generally fly like a sport model. In general, that would not be acceptable to the "Brotherhood" who would by nature be forced to stuff something a little quicker, like say a 60 just to perk it up a little bit. Looks like a mod to 90 would take some doing, and be a little heavy. Most of the "Bro's" stuffed 90's into the GP Little tony's and similar sized offerings, but were generally disapointed on the top end. I and a Bro. had Jett 90's in ours, too much frontal area to make them what we call fast. Fast is relative to each of us. Something around 120mph shood get your juces going. The National circut racer types will not get excited until around 200mph in general. Not a unusual speed for the top quickees and foumula type birds. The giant unlimiteds will get up to 230-250 on occasion. A good groving set up quickee is flyable by most at 200, becomes a handfull if not near prfect. The question is likely to be answered differently by almost each of us depending on age, experience and skills. ENJOY
