RCR,
I think we could run a 19T in mod too, and it isn't much slower you are right. Tell him if he puts new brushes in the Reedy I sent him to make sure the brushes are well seated before he runs it or it will feel slow. The reedy has a lrger com than normal. 767's should work fine once they are broken in fully. also with the 19 he won't have to worry about throttle management. Try running strapped for 8 minutes with a 9 wind.
Chris.
