A friend of mine flew one on a 35# BMT and I don't think he did much to modify it.

He'd get like 3~4 minute flight times at Mach 3.

Turn your max RPM down and use throttle control

I have put many flights on the Bobcat Composite with the P-120. I have really wrung it out hard and there isn't anything you need to modify. I have recently put a Jetcat Titan SE which many people would think is crazy, but it is the ultimate combo. Unbelievable vertical climbs.

I had approximately 80 flights on my XL BobCat with a P-120 before selling it and dont remember modifying anything but throttle management. Make sure you are an experienced pilot before attempting this combination........... It will easily do over 200MPH. BVM does not recommend this type of powerplant.

We all make mistakes and I make MORE than my share. If we learn from them then I would call that progress.
