My EVO 45 and Evolution Pitts muffler turns an APC 22-8 at 7200 RPM.

Maybe 7500 RPM on a pipe, but not with a muffler.

In any event, that engine pulls my H9 CAP232G vertical and will hover at less than 2/3 throttle, and will pull out nicely straight up.

That is a 16.5 pound plane. Imagine what it'll do on this 14.5 pound BLING!

BTW, I'm taking the Seagull tank out and replacing it with a proven DuBro one with a gas stopper.

I don't need a swollen stopper leaking all over the place.

I'll be test flying my BLING this weekend. Look for a full report in an upcoming issue of R/C REPORT Magazine
