Default RE: Club Thunder Tiger?????

My little kitty is a Bobcat.[sm=48_48.gif] Tried the MA 8X4 with a tank of custom high castor 20% nitro and was astounded. I got 14800 right away and after it tuned in and warmed up a little it even went into the 15000 range. According to my thrust calculator that is good for 2.5 lbs of thrust with a flying needle setting of 14800. I think I like it. If anyone can suggest somthing to install it in I am open to suggestions. I would love to see it in a nice combat plane but with the high wing loading I don't think my skills are up to it. Does anyone make a combat plane in the .15 to .25 range that perhaps has an optional wing for training? Certainly would be nice to be able to bolt on high lift wing to my airframe then as I graduate to real combat skill just change the wing to accomidate. Much like I have seen done on the Evolution training system. Great Planes offers a nice line but the wing loading is very high.
