Very glad to report that so far (1 flight) i'm very pleased with the engine. It turns 6720 W/Dynathrust 18x10 and i hav'nt even touched the needles. Great transition and relaible idle. I have it on a Sig cap 232 breightling which weighs 11lbs 6oz. dry and power to weight is very good . I have'nt hovered it yet but as this was a test flight in 20-30 mph winds i did do a very close to verticle stop and throttled back up and reclimbed back out with no probs. in summing up if it does'nt change i'll be very happy.
