All performance figures are GPS confirmed

Weights are actual off digital racing scales

Horsepower should be pretty close to bang on...based on prop type/pitch/rpm and thrust testing........

All the testing is done at 1/2 tanks with sand bag ballast to bring us up to max weight.

Just think....5 gallons per hour and 120mph cruise- I could make powerfest non stop from Edmonton in about 6 hours......too back restrictions won't be flown off in time.

I think Mike could get 900 feet per minute, initial, but wouldn't be able to sustain it! His landing would also be a little rougher.

Hey at 131mph is this the fastest Track/Kick engine out there?

Track/Kick of course.......

That's what the engine came from.....after all it's just an engine swap, right?

Wonder what it would go like in a Kick?

Thanks James

And the rest of you guys........

The goal now is to get through 100 hours of flight testing and then see if I can get it in production.

If things work out I may even offer a street/offroad version of the engine.
