<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Verdana">Hey Dan,

</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Verdana">David&rsquo;s got it pretty well summed up as far as Big Block RE engines that are in production as of today, just no Jett 120 anymore.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><o><font face="Verdana"></font></o></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Verdana">I&rsquo;d have to say for me there is only one choice for an EU-1A today a Jett 1.00 LX turning a APC12/8 at around 15,000 on the ground. This based on the size and weight (9.5 -10.5+lbs) these birds come out at when finished.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><o><font face="Verdana"></font></o></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Verdana">You&rsquo;ll want all the power you can get with this Bird! Well that again based on the flight performance one is looking for though, all the EU-1A&rsquo;s I&rsquo;ve seen powered with even the top 60&rsquo;s (Rossi, YS, OPS) were underpowered in my book. It&rsquo;s just a huge plane compared to the other designs of the era. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><o><font face="Verdana"></font></o></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Verdana">Will be keeping an eye on what you do with the finish.</font></p>

Paul, that's a good question regarding power plants. What's out there in rear exhaust anymore?
