Default RE: H9 60 Size P-47 Thunderbolt-Build & Flying

i just put a Miss America together for another guy and did the maiden on it with an OS 91 four banger and the G20ei on my Jug not only sounds better, has more vertical performance and is faster but with it's dinky little 8oz fuel tank i get a 25 min flight. the fuel economy of the gassers is a major plus in my book, i pay right at 4 bucks a gallon for 100 octane low lead and can get roughly 20 flights off that gallon.

as soon as i finish up a couple of other planes I'm working on for people I'm gonna do some prop swapping and see how she performs, right now with the 15x6 Competition APC I'm on the rich side to keep the RPM under 10K, i wasn't really expecting the performance this little engine is putting out.
