Figured this might get you guys talking.
Soon I will have numbers on the same setup with the engines raised 2 holes higher.
Probably be a week or so before I get that though.

Note: Last RPM value was wide open throttle.
The Rev 4's seem to hook up much better throughout the rpm range.
Rev's out performed the Mirage in economy at all speeds.
Little low on rpm, but the motors are buried, once raised, He might get 5900 or so out of it.
If you only run at 36-39kts, the Enertia did very well, but low end and midrange didnt feel as nice as the Rev.
