And I instruct as well and have been a licensed full scale pilot for 17 years .. wooopy! I have no fricken problems landing the damn airplane. This was not the intention of the post.. my intention was to LEARN about PROP sizes and effects so that I could optimise the airplane.. Yes I am being picky, and yes I didn't like the way this plane floated. Different props make a small difference in handling. this was my goal to learn what difference it made. I hadn't played with this part of models. I put them together. put the motor on and went with the recommended props and flew them till I wore them out. Now I have something else I can play with on my other birds.
