Looks great! Rough dimensions? Looks like about 45-50" span?

A pair of Jett .35's on 8x8 props will help.

The reason I went the way I did is the limited number sizes of pusher props. I wonder if I could get 35's in with out major mods.

Should be fine. As an example, OS .35AX's are in a .25 size case. "Same mounting dimensions as the 32SX and 25FX engines."

So are Jett .35's, although that is a pretty $premium power package!

I've been meaning to comment on this beauty...That's a nasty looking bird..!
I don't know about the LA .25s, but the LA .15 is pretty hot with the right prop. It can handle 18,000 all day.
If the LA.25 is OK at 18,000 then I wouldn't be bashful about going with less D and more P.
The RC Combat guys would know about the LA .25's limits.
7 x 6 would be my starting place if looking for speed.
APC might still carry a 6.5 x 6.5 and if you could carve a reasonable facsimile of a pusher....
There IS something cool about running a prop that you carved. ..but it's also kind of eerie to stand next to.

when you get your Jett 35's tell him one will be a pusher and he dubb makes a special pusher muffler for it. you will have to run 9x6 pusher prop but cut it down to 8.5 and will be perfect for the 35.

The engines in it now are old OS FP 25 with APC 9x6. I've been running 35% helo fuel and it goes pretty good. Thought about a pair of ASP 32's and running 8x7s. I think zinger has that prop in both tracker and pusher. Going to ball bearing motors will pick it up a bit and the 8x7 couldn't hurt. The ASP motors are low cost and the reviews are good. Cant afford $300 worth of Jetts.

Well, it would be more like $640.00!

And the suggestion was all in good fun. A pair of decent and affordable .32's or .35's should wake things up.

go with the ASP 32 then and with the money you saved set those Jett mufflers to fit it. these get you 1000 rpm or so back over the mufflers. you can just buy these mufflers and add to your FPs also and pick up 1500-2000 rpm on them.
