Is it possible to make an airframe to go 150mph with your stock Fox Eagle .40 engine?
Why I chose fox engine? Well its a very weak engine. if you can get 150mph in level flight no wind with a fox, imagine what an MB Profi would do lol[>:]

You really gotta love this guy a guy, brave stubborn hart. Next project will probably be trying to get 130 in the 1/4 mile out of a Hugo. Regardless, you just gotta respect the effort. Sorta like one of our very old racers that took a Hobbico Avi-Star of all things and cut the wing down to 40" and tweaked and ground on a K & B "Screamer" for about 3 years to beat my Jett powered racer, Jett 35 that is. He did finally get the thng up to snuff, and ourtun my little deamon. Then I stuck a Jett 60LX in mine and he is back to square one. Have no doubt, he will come back with some off the wall thingy and tweak on the thing and maby, just maby outrun the Jett at least one time. Then comes the puffed chest and the "I outran that @##$% Roger with a $90.00 engine. Never mention the several thousand hours of grinding and parts. Then Roger comes out with a modified airframe that exceeds the reasonable limits of the intended class and presents another hill for him to climb. We-all call this progress?? Donnna know? Just how long does it take to wear out a Jett anyway?? ENJOY
