ORIGINAL: Dr1Driver

This IS supposed to be a trainer, so it will be slow unless:

Raise the flaps and gear.
Take the droop out of the leading edge.
Lose the 3 blade prop. It's probably too small and too inefficient to fly the plane at a decent speed. Change to a larger 2 blade.

I know all that I have one too (P 51 PTS) I have done some Mod, but (joecoward) was asking this question below.

(I finally flew my Mustang PTS with an .46 Evolution engine with a three blade prop. The power of this trainer seemed really slow, don't get me wrong, the plane will move alone when given full throttle, however, for its class it didn't seem right. Does anyone have any experience with this motor and I guess the question I am getting at is what are some other reccommended props for this size engine? )
