Paul, assuming you did'nt replace the piston engine with a jet or turboprop in your Cessna, you can play around with the bold parts:

I am not an expert, and there could be more tweaks I dont know of, but this will give you a start. Also download the following word document. It explains all the data in the CFG file

Many happy aerobatics

You might consider the elastic band option for naval exersizes   hie hieee!

Thanks for the input....Fascinating read... ...!

What generated my interest in a spot of "power-boosting" was the highly aerobatic Piper Cub Video which Rotty Daddy posted a few days ago.... ...!

I quickly found out that I could no-where near perform such outrageous maneuvers with the standard Piper Engine installed.... ...!
I found out after, that he had installed a larger engine to perform to the Crowds.....without endangering the airframe...(which I thought a bit surprising!... ......)...!

Interestingly, my standard, lightweight, little Cessna 150 Aerobat (C150_v2), already has a surprising turn of speed as standard, (which it is why it is one of my favourite aircraft in my Hangar), with up to 140 knots cruise speed, properly trimmed, 1/2 a wing of fuel, with just lil' old me on board...(and a bit of a tail wind), to beat a Cessna 172, etc, to the post!.... ...!

She already "red-lines" on the old "speedo/knotmeter", bless her, so any increase in speed with a bigger motor would necessitate changing the Airspeed Gauge!... ...!

An interesting experiment in swapping engines, props, etc... ...!
