I had a couple of SSE's. I crashed the first and sold the second. I regretted selling it about 5 seconds after the deal was struck. Luckily, I have since found a NIB kit and it may be a building project down the road. I always loved mine. Mine was powered with a TT Pro 46 and I also used a APC 12.25 x 3.75 prop as you did, and got the same results. Great plane.
