Landing the plane required a high throttle setting, etc..
I’m just saying check the engine is pulling hard like a 24x12 prop would do. I’ve tested the FG90 with a 24x12x2 blade on the ground and the RPM was right on target.
I have a TopRC Zero with the 22X12 FW prop on it. 90 RG engine and it flies great! Fast enough for me and pulls hard through a big loop.
