Guys, I've got a lightly wingloaded 8.5lb Laser with a strong running ASP 1.08, a 16*6 APC around 9k rpm, in the nose. I want to try IMAC, but I'm a little shy on power for the larger maneuvers like the Diamond loop with rolls. I'm a little cramped on space for fuel, so I don't want to go larger glow cause I'm not sure I'll get both sequences in on one tank of fuel, so I'm looking small gas. I have some wing loading to give away(currently about 23.6oz/sqft), so I'm not terribly worried about the weight gain, but I'm wondering if I step up to a G26 if it'll have the ummph I'm looking for. Will it yank this thing at 9.5-10lbs? Anybody have any prop numbers or anything like that they could share? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Eric
I'm barely unlimited vertically right now, and I need this thing to really yank for the upline roll.

I've got the older G-23 and it turns an APC 16 x 8 at 8700 for 11 1/2 lbs of thrust. It will turn a Mejzlik 18 x 6 at 8200 for about the same thrust numbers. One fellow was getting 9000 rpm with the G-26 and Mejzlik 18 x 6, and 19 lb of thrust I believe. The G-26 weighs in at 52 oz, so subtract the weight of your 1.08 and see what you come up with. A 16 oz fuel tank will run my 23 for 15 minutes with 4 oz. or so left. That's with a lot of full throttle time on a 13 3/4 lb. bipe. Hope this helps.
