Hi Jeff,

J1300R will push the SM F18 vertical...easy on the throttle...I fly around with just 60-70% power. Take off in about 70m. F18 is a floater so slow her down in a long final until you have more stick time. You will like the power and the sound of this engine.

Hope to be at Wangaratta.

Cheers,
Kraivuth S.
