Glow is better for more power though, and that is where mine failed for pulling the T-clips out of the spin in time. Had it been glow, there is a good chance I could have pulled it out in time. I did find the prop, it was a 13 x 6 APC on the FG at the time, same that I use on the 72.
I totally agree with that. Given two similar engines, one with with higher specific output, the higher output engine will spool up faster. The broader, more tolerant fuel ratio acceptance range of alcohol fuel is another contributing factor. I almost converted my FG-11 to methanol but simply traded it for a new Saito FA-82.
I like the T-Clips, it has a lot of the same elements present in the Toledo Special. That is a fantastic plane to hot dog around! Now you did it, I am ordering a T-Clip
