Default RE: Poweplant for a fast Patriot

Roger- You are crazy man! LOL I actually "scan" your posts since reading them I feel is exhausting.

A 5lb patriot with the Jett-60LX will be a rocket, BTW.

To the gentelemen who wants 110mph, to be honest you will still need a really nice powerplant to get 110. Most people over-estimate their speed and I feel that my fastest Patriot with a Jett-50 and retracts, maybe hit 120mph.

Flying a Patriot with a 46FX/AX etc. should be criminal- the plane does not even fly really well with those engines. Just being honest- I would get a used Webra-50GT in the swap-shop or something or a Rossi-53 and go with that if you do not want to spend the $$ on a Jett.

Cheers!
