F3LS,
I ran my F3LS last season with the 7.4L/hooked up to an Alpha. I tried not to have it in the air too often though. It survived 1 or 2 flights though! (The batteries didn't!)
WOT was around 4700 on that set-up and I had a 21" mirage cut back to a 19" and the whole set-up seemd to work fine.
On a good day, not carrying much load I saw 55mph or so. Sometimes the speedo got happy of course and we called it 60!
I'll be doing the same thing shortly. Let me know how you make out.
Good luck!
