Thanks for the encouraging words Tim i was wondering if it would be to much motor but from what i have heard the 2.4 with the right prop will perform great Mine has the upgraded ign , it gives it about 600 or so more top rpms and idles great . Running a 20/8 standard Menz or Carbon fiber 20/9 . I will completet the bird this winter when things slow down a little so i will let you guys know . Thanks Bruce
