RE: Pitts P-12 from towerhobbies?

Campy, no not at all. We set the idle with the throttle at about half trim, and when I slide it down it shuts right off, same with the OS

After some corrections from bruce I'm gonna try this again.

Tower calls for a Top-Flght 10x8, bruce reminded me the error of my ways concerning wood vs nylon with beginners. And quite frankly it's smokes right along with the 10x8 on it, I was told an 11x6 might be a little better for that engine, so that's what I put up. Bruce or Bill can give you a much more experienced opinion on correct prop size. These three links are just an example of getting started for well under $500 with a plane you can actually learn to fly on.
