Razor,

Good to here from ya. Those are great engines, scream little banchees [X(]. My original instructor has that exact same engine. He bought a SSE and added an APC 11X7 prop on my advice.

He would outrun me on my SSE with an OS46AX. Exact same setup except for the engine. I told him to change the prop to a 11X6 so I could keep up with him. He just laughed until he went to high rates and did a roll at almost full throttle. Dang thing became a blur, I lost count at 3 rolls and he almost pile drived it in from about 300 feet because he got so disoriented because of the roll rate, even with that engine/prop combo he could hover the beast at 1/2 throttle and pull out at about 3/4 throttle.

I'll look back through the threads throughout the day and PM ya.
