John,

What's it weigh? Do you have a kayak paddle to use as a prop?   :##

    Stalker .81 RE is 13.5 oz. RE muffler 1.2 oz. I have been using Omega FAI fuel with one oz of Aero 1 and 2 oz of Klotz for break in purposes.It has been bench run only with a variety of props. The latest being Gator 14x4 two blade
repitched to 6". Ran a 8200 in a nice four stroke. Bolly 14x6  slightly less four stroke rpm. I will be testing it in my big Laser which required nose surgery to fit the Stalker . I got some paint on it today and should be testing the Big
Stalker in it by months end . I will  also try to shoehorn it in the ARF Strega. This will be a good comparison with my RO Jett .76 Se with muffler in the Strega. I also have been running my new Stalker Long Stroke .61 I absolutely love it!!!.

Thanks Walter, that gives me a starting point with the brute. I also picked up the light weight long stroke too. I probably won't be running any fuel through them until a bit further into the spring.

I'm thinking about finishing my Tony for the BIG BLOCK.

Randy, you've got to see one of these things. A little over 14 1/2 ounces with the muffler.

John
