Custom patriot and webra 120
I just recieved this plane in a trade-
Scratch built patriot, fuse about 6 feet long, wing about 55 inches. The plane is immaculate, built better than I could ever hope. Weight about 12lbs with retracts.
Has a Webra 120 with stock mufller, which was new. Flew it on fai fuel, 14/10 prop. Spun 8800 rpm, and barely took off. It flies SLOW. I was expecting more from this combo. Midrange was horrible.
Swithced to 10% nitro, and now the motor ran beautifully. Plane is still slooow (?60-70mph). Changed props to 15/10, 16/8. Pulls about the same. Getting about 8500 rpm.
Is this all this motor puts out??? Does it need a lot of break in? (I have a gallon through it total at this point).
Honestly, the plane flies like a trainer, not a jet...
Any help appreciated.
