Default RE: Little Toni or Cermark Alley Cat?

Not to beat down someone else's opinion, but to be fair I will add some info..
I dont know which 90 rmenke had. Its already been posted with the muffler extension required for the Toni, the 90L lost some rpms. Thats the reason for the 90LX. When I first started racing mine, an OS 91 at my lunch. Now after 16 flights on the engine, its a beast, fires up on the flip and outstanding speed with an 11x8 prop. Recently raced an LR-1 with an OS 32. That plane is quick. My toni just simply out ran it. Raced that same OS 91 this weekend and it was a totally different race. Revenge is so sweet. I can't tell you in mph how fast the plane is, but its competitive on our course. My opinion is, this engine is too tight to expect best performance just by break-in and less than 10 flights. I think rmenke gave up too quick on the configuration, unless he was running a 90L.
If you plan on running the Toni with a Jett 90LX, let Dubb know and he will include the extensions needed to get performance. Give the engine some run time. I dont think you will be disappointed.
