Well, I had 3 flights today and all I can say is WOW--no wait--BIG WOW!!!! As for the weight
1---Don't know
2---Don't care (pardon my flipit remark, but when something is this perfect, numbers are of little value to me--Just my opinion of course)

To say that this combo has unlimited verticial is one extreme understatment. The first tank through the Brison got 6800-6900 RPM with a Mejslic 23/8--after a brief roll out I just pointed it stright up and gradually opened the throttle and it climbed as far as I could see into a clear crisp Carolina blue sky. Keep in mind that I am no "hot dog IMAC or 3D pilot" but in my years of flying RC, I enjoyed a thrill today that is very hard to express. Point it in the direction you want and go from there.

I have owned a DA 50 and they are superb engines, but I think Brison gets forgotten in all of the hype. Anyway, I was able to mount 2 5945s in the rear of the plane (rudder) for CG purposes and everything else balances out from there with a standard pitts muffler-batteries are abought 4 inches behind the wing tube--- I am running 2 battery (1400 MA NiMah) packs for redundancy and also to feed the power hungry 6-5945s and JR 811 on the throttle. I am sure there are people that will say my 2.3 is too heavy, but for me, it is in a class by itself. Next time at the field, I will try to get some weight numbers! (still waiting for the "buzz" to wear off)
