1. power range for motor selection is .25-.32. so, unfortunately, at the top of the range. maybe a bigger pitch on the prop, but i'm not sure what the max recommended is. but still we have the speed/lift increase. AARRGGGHHHHH!!!!!

You stated you are using a O.S. .32. That would be the .32SX. It's no normal sport .32. It's a screaming little power house. Generally considered the size of a .25 with the power of a .40. They were rather pricey in their day. Great motor, but not a good application in this case.</p></font>
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">wow... never knew that. i figured it was just another motor between my .20 FP and the .40 FX. that would explain past occurances with other planes. OOPS! so maybe i'll try the down thrust before messing with the incedence of the wing and such. i was looking at maybe a tiger 2 for an intermediate plane before finishing the SMP. i really don't care much for the 4*'s. i got a wrecked one to fix up for a friend and wasn't impressed with about half of it. but i think i'm more into the look of the plane than not. i guess as long as it does it's job. thanks for the hot tip on the motor. that really explains a lot...</span>
