Larry,

I have seen the video on your site (and others) and there have been tons of threads on your 26 and the other variations of the name depending who sells it. I don't need to own one to reproduce the numbers everyone else is getting. Every number I have read on that engine is in the mid 7k with a 17 or 18" prop.. I seem to recall a lot of people running 17x6s in the upper mid 7k. The other 2 engines being mentioned will spin an 18x6 (a real prop not an MA or Zinger) 8700-9000 within the first few tanks of gas.

I made a general statement and stick by it... yours doesn't break mounting lugs (again that good news!) but it still lacks power compared to whats out there. To weigh out the differences in performance is not worth it to save $100 or so in my mind. Again this is my opinion (and obviously a few others in this thread) and I am sorry if you don't agree with it... but you aren't going to change it.
