Did some flyin today and took some measurements. With a fresh battery, it is taking 71 A, with the 12x8 prop. I did a few advanced sequences and used 3600 mAH each time, doing all maneuvers WFO.
I tried an 11x10 prop. It made the plane faster for sure, but I could feel the lack of thrust compared to the 12x8. Wanted to see how it compared so went up against Jon Bruml's beautiful Phoenix 8, which has the New YS Classic 61 and pipe. The EU1 was faster! Later I went up when Jon Carter was flying his new Tipo, with an original YS short stroke and I put the 12x8 back on. This time we were about on par. I think the 12x8 is the best overall prop for me.
I still have an issue with the dihedral. The original cores for this plane, had the dihedral angle cut into the foam blocks. The cores that came from RC Aiir did not have any dihedral angle cut in them and I could not find what the proper angle was, anywhere, so had to make a guess. My guess wasn't good, I need more as I have a good amount of adverse roll coupling. I'm going to have to cut a slot in the top center of the wing, squirt some epoxy and weight It down to add more. I expect this will take a few tries to get right, but I think it will be worth it. The mix I have in now has some unintended effects.
