Provide some additional data on your model.

Which OS 46? What rpm? What pipe? What fuel? APC prop?

APC also makes 8X8, 8x9, 8X10, props...an 8" diameter will fly a Dust, just a little trickier to launch.

Status: offline 		i have an s.t 51 on mine with the same pipe and usually a graupner 9.5 x 5 prop and was clocked at 147 at two thirds throttle! also am running 10% byrons. only problem is it is so fast that if i snap it into a turn or vertical it will literally disintegrate! i am now on my second as that happened to the first.---henry
