The plane has a 540ci. flat 6 engine with 350+ HP.

with 540ci he should be pushing more than 350 i would think with 540ci it would be likedamn near 500, i mean there are 302s reliably getting 400hp. ****ty music but awsome amount of skill, id never do that, i would rather put around in a lil helicoptor if i was a pilot. too bad he didnt qualify for red bull, o well always next yr.

His first stunt plane was a Pits, but he blew it up like three times. Then he got a Giles 202, then helped disign the MX2, which is lightly based off of his old 202. Both are experimental.
lol i've never hurt a pitts. then again i don't fly like a squid [sm=lol.gif]

j/k i over g'da cessna 152 once doing spin training with a student.

It's an airplane engine, big difference when compared to a car engine. It's air cooled and it's low compression. Peak RPM is like 3500. Any faster and the prop will chop the air and you'll stall. The only other way is a gear reduction, but then you loose response and power.

It's kinda funny though, he's like 5'4 lol. He's always dating hot chicks though, that's what flying a $400,000 plane will do for you!

duh, i should've known that [sm=rolleyes.gif], haha intersting... i figured they would have more torque than hp, but i didnt know they ran such low r's
