I'm a lightweight toping out at 135lb. The plane has all the power I will ever need. I'd say takeoff is about 100'. Throttle foward, tail up and it's ready to fly. Cruise is in the 50-60mph range. Fuel burn is 2.5-3 gal an hour at cruise. Steve Beatty at Airscrew Performance in Glendale, Arizona has 377's and parts. I started my ultralight career many years ago flying a Teratorn TA with a 377 on it. I've never had a problem with the 377.
