The Macchi airframe I kicked this thread off with has very close to the same drag profile as a Q500. It takes the power of a YS 115 to get close to 180 mph. IMO no amount of mods to any .40 2 stroke is going to get a Q500 coming out of a turn at 185. A Q500 looses roughly 20% airspeed in a turn as well.
