I have two Jett engines myself. If I could afford it, I’d sell everything else I own and have Jett engines only. Mine have barstock crankcases, but the sand cast case engines are superb as well. My .35 swings a 9x6 to 18k or better and the .56LX will run a 10x6 to 18k or better on 15/20 fuel and APC props. As long as they have a 16,500rpm ground peak, they’re going to run just fine. Launch at 15,000rpm and have fun. They unload like crazy.

The following video is from another member running a FIRE BSE .35LX engine in an LR1. You won’t get a 4-stroke to do anything remotely close to that.
