No doubt. that's why I was very pleased with the 7700 rpm's. I'm sure she is unloading close to 8k in the air. The tillotson carb was a non issue. I'm no carb guru but when we put the kit in it looked like a walbro and tuned easily.
My goal was to have a good matched setup for my brother since it's his first gasser.. We felt that we scored at Perry as we only paid $500 for the plane, engine, servos. The plane was near flawless and had new powerHD 1201 servos all around with the older DLE 30.
