Those of us who are trying to answer your questions have concluded that your performance is similar to our 424 Quickie event. While there are several different engines that were approved for the 424 event, the Thunder Tiger pro .40 became the preferred engine. When they were discontinued, our national racing organization approved the Evolution .46, When the Evolution was discontinued, Dub Jett was asked if he could "de-tune" his 426 engine for the 424 event. Dub came up with a different (shorter) muffler, and a smaller venturi. The one draw back to this engine is the price. One plus for us is that with a muffler, and venturi change the engine can be used in two different events. There is a good possibility that we may have to come up with an electric solution for our 424 quickie event because of a lack of an inexpensive engine option. I thing if you could find a "gently" used Thunder Tiger Pro .40 or .46 it would out perform your OS.
Thank you Greg

Have you got any experience with detuned Jett for 424 with q-500 airframe ?
