Default What was your most overpowered airplane?

I was just thinking about Chuck Auger (RCU Legend) and how he took a Whiplash and ran Rossi DF engines up front... First a 65 then an 81! (hence legend)

Then there is that one guy took a Patriot ARF (40 sized) and put a Jett-90 up front- (My idol)

Then that guy Eric who piloted that twin Jett-50 powered delta looking bad-ass plane! (brave soul)

Some of these combos may not have worked out well, or at all but the point is that someone tried- and hair was on fire as a result! It can be a warbird, trainer, or full on speed ship, if you tried it I wanna hear all about it!
SO...

What is/was your most ridiculously overpowered airplane and how did that work out for ya?

Searching for ridiculous power and speed?

Had to add all kinds of weight in the tail you say?

Pinned, glassed and re-pinned the firewall to accept monster power-plant?

No prop clearance for the big-boy up front?

Mine are not all speed related but..

1. Funtana (46 size) with a ST G-90 2 cy. up front-
2. Top Flite Gold Edition P-51 (60 sized) with a YS-120 (And you know how strong the YS's are...)
3. Funtana-90 with an OS-160FX on board.

Whaddya got Revver Bros?
