Default RE: 80

25 lbs is pretty heavy for a 80" ws. I had a 80" Platt Zero with a OS 160 using a 17x10 prop at 8k and it did fine. I would look for something that would fit inside and spin a 20x10 at 7k or so. I know the spitty has a small frontal area but engine parts hanging out the front is ugly.
