This is my bud that claimed his tony doing 140 with a Jett 9l after I sold mine after 4 flights, and has given me a hard time ever since. If you are looking for speed with a 91, forget it, just toooo much frontal area and wing designed for sport flying. That being said, the tony is a good looking sports airframe that will do most anything you asked of it including hanging on the prop for a decent time. I would have stuck a 120 to 160 in the thing and woke it up, but club rules frowned on anything over 60, so sold it cheap. Wished it back several times just to stuff a real motor in the thlng and kick some our club smartys tail. I would not do that to the Buddude cause he would catch me right after I chewed the tail off his off with ease and that 14" prop. If you can buy it reasonable, its a good looking and flying airplane, and faster than most. I was tryilng to create a larger club killer racer which was just not to be! ENJOY

RE: Little Tony
You want the Jett stream performance muffler (tuned pipe) or the performance specialities tuned muffler system. Both are almost identical, jett may be a few buck cheaper. Check um out at www.jettengineering.com or www.psp.com. May have the performance specialities site wrong. The OS 91 and your motor should be the same?

RE: Little Tony
for speed not very good. that engine i dont think will go over 10,000 rpms. i think the 1.20 is in the 9000-9500 range. sometines bigger is not always better. im sure bob27 will chime in on this

For the expected performance of a Magnum 91 , you may as well install a 60 and save some money. It will fly it and okay I might add but if it is all out speed you want, not going to happen. Get a Jett 90. One guy here has that combo. I think its "Hattened" or something like that.

The best Jett has to offer for the Toni is the SJ-90LX-T or BSE-90LX-T.
LX configuration (high timed) with the Toni/Minnow muffler extension set.
Install an APC 11x8, 11x9 or 12x7, 12x8 and hang on.
(the T engine turns about 400 rpm less than the LX without extensions, but will carry more prop - unloads great in the air)

engine, but will give respectable performance with a 12-7 or 12-8 Zinger prop for speed.
I have one on a big Delta airplane, and the performance is good. Forget the 13-6, and
14-6 (and larger) props. You must let the engine rev, and avoid overheating. You
need to run a fuel with some castor oil in it as well....it will run hot on synthetic only
fuel/oil.

RE: Little Tony
I have one with a saito 91 on it...My first prop was a mistake 14*8 way to slow, I put a 13*8 on it was alittle bit faster and fun to fly. But Im gonna go with a os 91, I know it not the same as a JETT 90 but o well my wallet wont feel the hurt as much...I'll let you know how fast it goes when I get the engine in this week and fly it this coming up weekend...
