That is exactley right Jim. This plane was really designed as one of the first on the market that was ment to "hang on the prop". To prop it with a small fast prop and expect to set up the 1" throws recomended in the manual would not be a lot of fun. Some people might take "hang on the prop" to mean torque rolls but I take it to mean flying just above stall speed with ample power to pull out if needed. That way you can crank the throws to the max and move the CG way back and really have the kind of fun that this design was intended for. After all the SE has been around since before "3D" was a common term.
