Hi, need some help.
I have world model 70 inch P47 and CRRC GF26i V2 on it and hawk wooden prop 17 x 10 and it seems like not enough power with this engine. I plan to replace the engine with DLE 20. Is it much power with this engine for this kind of plane.
Thanks, any comments appreciate
Just my opinion, OK? I'm not real sure if the engine swap will give you much more power. It'll be a few ounces lighter, but turning that into extra performance to make the swap worth it may be challenging. Prior to going that route, I might be tempted to try a couple different props to see if some gains may be had going that way. Maybe a 16x10 or a 17x8?
