Bob,
Yeah it was a really nice day. I've been away from Pattern for too long. Thanks for the comments on my 'Magic. It was a labor of love and it was worth every minute of it.

My OS 160 is spinning an APC 18.1 x 10 at 7900-8000 RPM on the ground. With the pipe a little shorter I can get 8100-8200 but the midrange isn't as good. For Pattern we need more response in the midrange so we tend to run the pipe a bit on the "long" side. It took me a while to learn this but I'm really happy with how my OS160 runs now.

Your SAP180 has plenty of punch and it sounds great. Fly that ship fast and big (right over the poles) and you should score well. Are you planning on using the SAP180 in your new Pentathlon?
