Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Not sure how you peeps are getting even close to 100 mph with this plane...I have one and so does another member of my club

On mine i have an Os 55ax 11x6 prop stock muffler a little over 11k rpm's, clocked at 54 mph

The other one has the same motor turning a 10x6 prop an ultra thrust muffler, rpm's 13.5k clocked at 65 mph

You're way low on RPM's. I have the same engine, stock muffler with an APC 11x7p and I'm getting 14,000 on the ground with 15%. My engine is still breaking in so it's even a little on the rich side. By the way, how'd you manage to have an AUW of 6.2 lbs.? Thats about a full pound lighter than everyone else who's posted including my own.
