trying to get as much reliability as possible. I talk to arneson they said the 525 bravo conversion would be a great set up. Would pick up 10mph cruise and a lot on top that I don’t care about. After all said and done it would be around $50k.

Heard people having issues with Arneson delivering parts, something you might want to look into.

GASP! Gulp...........XR-3 is the weak link way way too much weight in that light duty drive. You need the bite of a duo prop to get the weight on plane. Very few were built with single props. I asked a owner of the "few" and he admitted it was a challenge to get going, could be done but took some skill...
