Asanders,
Could you tell me the weight of your plane? I'm also using the 160 for power with an 18 X 8 prop and my plane weighs in at 16lbs. Honestly, I have been disappointed in the performance. I expected the thing to be a rocket with the 160 but it flies very scale like. I'm not sure if this performance is typical with the 160 or if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm using an OS 1.60 in my 83 inch span, 16.5 pound Midwest Harvard and with an APC 18x6W it is a rocket ship. Definitely not scale unless I'm throttled waaaay back! You don't say what type of prop you are using but I would suggest that if it's a Zinger or Master Airscrew they are generally better used as paint stirring sticks than as props on high performance models.
