Default Moki 2.10

I fly a Lanier 80" Cap 232. I'd guess it weighs 16+ pounds. The Bambula 20 X 8 noticeably increases the vertical up-line pull, but I won't try to hover - not enough excess thrust for that. It will climb straight up a few hundred feet (400-500?) before it runs out of steam if I enter the pull-up with speed at full throttle. To me, the plane flies very scale-like. In fact, a guy at the field used those words to describe its flight characteristics. The plane is way too heavy to hover with any authority. The biggest difference is in the braking. This prop really slows it down. For an aerobat, speed isn't necessary. The Bambula pulls the plane well. Woody
