Rowdog,
If you want to try it, take the silencer off for a 300 RPMboost. It's like going for %20 to %30 nitro and on the 4-stroke and pitch we're running, that's a significant gain. I've had the 100 and 125 on and now itsthe Saito 115 that's found a home on the Revolver. If you really want to get crazy, put an APC 13x11 on it.. It'll be hard to slow down on landing and you may have to idle a bit higher,but it'll be a whole different experience than the 14x8 - you'll have unlimited vertical, too.
I had to cut a leg off of the motor mount, as you did, but I was able to drill a hole into the nub and put a new blind nut. At first Iwas using support brackets, but now it's just the modified stock motor mount.I like to take the Revolver out for a few flights and then I have to mix the day up with a Piper Cub or something similar to get the nerves to settle. I only fly the Revolver when the visibility is good, too. It's amazing the speed and distance this thing goes in a very short amount of time.
What an awesome plane...Nice job!
