IRichard. Video looked perfect. My plane looked NOTHING like that in flight. Again.. the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced I did not get the speed up fast enough. Your plane looks liek it really accelerated once airborne. Very nice. Gives me somethign to emmulate.
Thanks. I would try a 15x8 prop as others have suggested. My plane was swinging a Graupner 15x8 two bladed prop, and it had plenty of speed even though the plane was a whole pound heavier than yours. Light planes tend to fly better than heavy planes.
