Prop/Engine combos for Knife
Thanks for the feedback guys!
Flew my Wild Thang yesterday and had an absolute ball! What an awesome bag o' tricks this little flyer is.
It seems to have unlimited vertical now, I can hover at about 1/2 to 2/3 throttle without too much trouble. Nail it and it climbs out of it very well.
However I don't have the "snappy" response I'd like to see in the upper range of the throttle... it takes it a couple seconds to wind out and start climbing again. I'm thinking of trying an 11 x 4 prop instead of the 12.25 x 3.75 to see if it can spin the blade up to max rpms quicker (going from 1/2 to full).
I'm a little leary of messing with the pipe since I've got my tank in the wing and don't want to screw up my fuel flow/pressure scenario (works OK as it is now).
Found hovering to be relatively easy, but feels like I need my CG moved back a little from what the plans say... you guys move yours back any?
