Default RE: Boomerang Sprint Build Thread!

I was referencing the 12lb turbine because I saw somewhere in this thread that someone was flying it on a simjet 12lb turbine.

My turbine is rated at 14lb and most people that have actually tested have found it does between 14-14.5 most of the time and is the lightest engine in its class (1.8lb) so it should end up pretty light. Would that be too little?

I have read many times that top speed isnt as relative to thrust as vertical performance...so if you can get 140 on a 20lb turbine Im guessing 125-130 on mine isn't necessarily a long shot...

Still undecided... :/

Thanks.
