Thank you CP!

The rpm reads:
17.2k just prior to launch
18.6k right out of the hand
20.3k best level pass
Makes good thrust for 46-50 mph typical pass no pressure feed solid feel tracks good climbs out with ease -frame can handle 80mph.
I look forward to trying the thinner blades of the APC 4.2x2 prop / keeping with the no pressure theme the extra rpm will be good on the ears and in theory I can run leaner for longer run times.
Thus far 3.43 mins. is the best time with the 4x2.5
The APC is not quite constant pitch if the tips are cut to 3.5 dia may act like a 3.5 x 2+ Will try that after I run the stock prop next.
APC makes a 1/2A 5.5 x 2.5 may snag a few to cut down. 3.75 x 2.5

The GM .030 can swing a 4.5 x 2 at 18k ish I hope to get 25k with a cut 3.3 x 3 MA prop.
