This is the worksheet for a high horsepower Nuthatcher 2 to take care of the added engine weight I gave it more wing and had to make the fuselage a little longer. As you can see doubling the horsepower doesn't translate into double the performance when loaded.
The performance is outstanding when the airplane is light, takeoff roll 95 feet, 253 ft over 50-foot obstacle and a rate of climb of 3700 feet a minute.
Pulling the power back to 55% power would yeald a cruise speed of 120 mph with a fuel burn of 8.2 gph. At 40% power you have a cruise speed of 107 mph with a fuel burn of 5.8 gph. The question is, is that extra 13 mph worth the added 2.4 gallons an hour? Avgas is about 5.50 dollars a gallon the last i looked

Windows XP? I'm getting static for still running 8.1 in the age of Windows 10!
Pro tip: if you need a screen capture, [Alt][Print Scrn] will grab it as an image without the distortion and Moiré pattern. Open MS Paint (comes with Windows) and [Ctrl][V] spits it out for editing.
