I've gotten my Y.S 45 up to 18,880 with a 8.75x8nn on 40% with a nitro pipe.
Nice plane. I like the retracts.
19k, Dang thats haulin. Good and loud too with no muffler and 40% LOL!
40%....good to know. Some YS's wont take 30% nitro, the compression is too high on some (add head a gasket). Luv those YS 45's
I have not had great luck with nn blades up to now. To me they seem to slip too much/ low thrust. I will try what you did on my 45.
Some time ago, I-Like-Jets posted that the 46 vx df will tach 20k with a 8.75X9.5nn. But I think Im staying with the 9.75 pitch on the DF.
