Great! something simple. Now get out there and run this thing. Me and others have been on the edge our seats for the last 3 1/2 years.

This is also one of the best threads on OSO, and thank you for sharing all or you hard work with us. :Score-101010:

Thanks Rookie- it means a lot. Tonight we cracked the beer- she did 64 on GPS @ 5000, so I am happy with that. She also made it back to the trailer under her own power. Still got a slight leak coming from somewhere, and a couple of stupid things to fix, but for the most part it is done and usable- thanks everyone on OSO for the support and help over the years. :party-smiley-020:

Holy chit...that thing is fast....(compared to mine) what props are you running?

Woo Hooo!! Congrats Scottie. What a long time coming!!

64mph is pretty damn good. Yeah what props are you running?? I've got 23p Mirage's and my best so far is 59 @about 4100rpm.

The props are 21 pitch- non name brand, and they don't match- so its what you call major backyard performance:drink:

I'm thinking about using a sharpie and writing Hering on them- probably pick up a couple of mile of hour!!! (I am not bashing on Hering, by the way)

I tried writing 700SCI on my engines, Didn't work. Must have used the wrong color.

Scottie, that's great! Congratulations....

So what kind of horsepower do you think those engines are making?
