I knew I had a good engine, but today it hit home - we have been doing formation several times a week with a 90 hp metal prop in the lead, and my Stroker Cub with wood prop on the wing.

Today I tried the J4 - it has a very strong C-85, and a little less drag than the J3 with door open. Could not keep up. Simply not enough power.

A Stroker is really a neat engine!
