Default Is it possible to burn an engine with the wrong size prop?
I have a Thunder Tiger .46.. From what I understand, you should use a 11x5 or 11x6 prop on it.. Right now, Im using a 10x4 and I really like how it performs (and sounds too). It SCREAMS on flyby.

My problem is, I like to keep the throttle on.. Alot of guys have been asking me how old the engine is (8 flights old) and if its ball bearing because with that prop and full throttle, I may burn the engine up.

How much would a prop effect this??

Also, Im running 10%.. Someone suggested running 30%... True??
