Default RE: Goldberg Sukhoi ARF / Has anyone seen one?

HCuellanrt. I made two flight with my present set up pulling around 2000 watts at 3/4 power and it is more than enough. Got a nice email from Dan Landis ( the Futaba and CC team pilot) and I think he has solved my problem. He has had the same experience as me and says my prop is just too much for the motor so I'm backing off to an 18x12 from the 20x11. Makes sense as I always think the worst. But it just seemed to me that the amps would just go on up with this prop if too big. Guess it just overpowered the engine. He has over 800 flights on this engine. The Axi 5330/18 comes in a stock and an F3A which seems to be two different breeds. More later.
