Thanks Tom
Your saving me from myself...lol
I sure hope the nitro and propping will be just enough for some comfort with this thing. It maxed out about 5200 with the 24/10. And I ran it at an even 5000. It was flyable but with a little to much "puckering" for my flying skills My brother in law test pilot (Chuck Yeager as we call him) , said " it's a handful " when he handed me my radio during the maiden. My first lazy flat aileron turn had me confirming his opinion. LOl
if I can get a little safety factor and an even lower rpm I will be ok with this set up. And happy to stress the engine less.
Flying in Michigan is day by day with the weather here, but I will try this thing again soon as the stars align.
My goal is just an everyday radial to fly with low stress level. So nice to hear these motors in low passes at low rpms. Super scale, close to Heaven, awesome reminder of what role these machines played in human history
Thanks again.
Will post results when I can, collected wisdom is AWESOME.
Sharing it is a blessing.
