Agreed. If you can install a bigger tire, it will help. I built a little T-45, that originally was a 90mm EDF. SO... the stock tires were tiny. (1.75") But, knowing I was flying it off the grass... I installed 3" mains, and 2.5" on the nose. It looks a little goofy, but it works.


And finally.... more thrust is always nice. (lol) Is this the ECU I turned up to 152K for you?


****EDIT****

One thing to remember... on the AMT's, they calibrate on every start up. SO... you need to hold the throttle to full, for at least 6 seconds, before your flight, for the ECU to give you full power. If you are just taxi'ng out, and hitting the throttle... you may only be at 90% power.

Doing a simple run-up may get you out of the grass faster with that engine.


(Do you have a manual? I can post one if you need it)
