Carlos,

Good idea using o-rings on the wing hold-down screws.

I have a Jets Munt M90 (21#) in mine and it's lots of fun. I'd guess it can do about 180 mph.

I also managed to get a 24 oz. smoke tank in there. Smoke tank is up front, under the receiver and the pump is in the back. It's good for about 3 minutes.

Here's a picture. The smoke shows up...

That's pretty close to my set-up: Jets Munt M90 with 80 oz, Dubro tank. The timer starts when the gear goes up. I fly for 7 minutes, and have plenty of reserve.

If I had it to do over again I would have made the whole fuse 1 inch wider to accomodate more equipment up front. I had to mount the smoke pump in the back.
