head to head
I decided to get my Profi flying and compare it to the Picco I built. Both mounted on the same type of model.
The thing even hand started. Easy fueling process. Blast to fly. Now I want to mount a plane to my Cyclon so I can take the three flying same day.

I have a few of those Driskill combat props with the CF tow down the center, forget the specs right now. They pull like a mule but are noticably slower in the the air than a 4.2 x 4. Exactly what you would expect from a combat prop. I bet they don't slow down in the turns much.

I ran 4.6x2.8 props,my favorite. The apc doesn't come out of turns well and I break em too easy. Idont think I wanna go faster. These birds fly over 100mph as is. When we used to race these, the apc just didn't cut it.

The Profi is an .049, the Picco is stroked to .057 (custom 8mm crank and brg)
I put the pressure nipple there so I don't have to join two slimmey tubes with a brass joiner. (kinda hard with chub fingers) Very convenient placement for ease of operation is all.
