Default Porter and Engine - What are YOU using
Flys great with the BGX. Use the 1.6, the 44 is definitely tooo much.

With the BGX and full flaps, it jumps off the ground in about 10 ft, and then I throttle back immediately to just above idle, and putt, putt the plane around at less then 1/4 throttle. It just looks best flying scale that way. The long nose also wants to make it nose heavy, so use the lighter engine.

How much does your plane weigh? I'm guessing maybe 13 lbs.
