U CAN DO with a Moki 1.8 and tined pipe!!!....?

I had to use a ZDZ 210 just to get it hovering .... it didn't have enough vertical and unfortunately I couldn't find anything bigger

Dude, without joking I think it would be absurd ... that would be in the ratio scale of putting a Saito 100 to a PenKnife 30 !!! ...

I fly at 9000 ft MSL and I'm using a Webra 120 (17X6 APC) in mine and even at my altitude that's tooooo much power. I have measured the static thrust (witha fish scale) and I'm a little over 2::1 power to weight ratio.

I think a Webra 120 with the right prop will hive you the same power to weight ratio as TOC aircraft.

Also, unless you have TOC thumbs, you WILL NOT be able to hover with that plane .... it will start tork-rolling so fast you will hardly even distinguish the front & rear while spinning.

Go for a 120 that swings a 17X6 @ 9000 rpms and I'm sure you'll thank me later.
