I put a 227 hp turbo-charged Subaru boxer engine on mine, it hovers on intial start up. All I got to say is "TROTTLE MANAGEMENT".

I was a little agressive at first and pulled the plane in half longitudianally (newbie mistake). I just got out the CA and was back flying in 3 seconds.

Plenty of authority to pull straight out of the atmosphere, my first one burned up on reentry so I decided to fiberglass the fuse and it solved the problem.

Great plane but no match for my 42% Edge with a Chevy 350 V8.
