RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

Sounds nothing like my plane, climbs vertical almost out of site with an Saito 72 and 13.5x6 prop.

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

Definately Does not need a 91 unless your at a higher altitude, all that will do is make it a brick! Power doesnt overcome wing area :) and the bigger...

RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

Hi

I have a 72 Saito in mine and have found APC 13x6 to be about the best size for me. Also the bolly 13.5 x 6 has been good too.
