There is a guy on here who has a Showtime with a BCMA 26 in it and says it flies extremely well. I have the same setup but haven't flown it yet, however I got 10lbs 8oz AUW, and 12 lbs 8oz thrust with a Mejzlik 18x6 at 7480 RPM. After break in however I fully expect to clear 8000 and be well over 13 lbs. P-Diddy is flying on a 16x4W APC and says his plane has more than ample power to perform any maneuver. Hope this helps.
