Good motor!
A fellow member on here has 2 of them! Never missed a beat mechanically.
just be sure to have the throttle and gear cables adjusted perfectly, otherwise the gearbox grinds like a b*tch.

And yes, she will fly. Get as much weight forward as you can, save having to trim the motor right in. They like to keep their bow in the water.
