Hi Bill,
Well, I am not Jeremy of course, but I do own the Frebird as well !
It was regurarly flown with the AMT Olympus that I handed over to Jeremy some time ago ! He still is the biggest fan of the AMT`s !
Now, I have completed Tom`s Hustler as well and both jets will share the single xicoy X225 in the future - very light, fully integrated and beautifully made !
With a second intallation kit, turbine swap will be easy !
The set up will be 4pounds lighter than the Oly with almost the same powerlevel !
Unfortunately, Beni van de Goor did not do any new things to his smaller range of motors - so they have all been left with the technology of 10 to 15 years ago !
They represent an iphone 1, whereas xicoys are iphone 15 standard ! ( ehm yes, you can still make calls with that iphone 1 ! )
Just my two cents
