I know the CARF corsair cannot handle the speeds my plane is running at. Therefore it is good that it is not a CARF model, but a build from Don Smith plans. And for the scale appearance, it is already overpowered. I've measured over 60# of thrust with the soloprop. And the plane weights the same. So if I want to fly scale and will have to use the throttle. And now with the new heads, even more. I have been thinking of going bigger diameter, but have not seen good ones yet. 38" would be scale size, but that might be too big for the moki.
