I think the fuse was catching alot of excess air with the cowl off. Blowing off the bottom hatch at take off is my reason for thinking that. I have a Here Lil Extra and it has the Parkzone Corsair motor in it. It only puts out 169 watts. This one was putting out 300 and it was flying slower in the air than the Extra. The Extra was using the PZ prop though and not the 9x6E APC. Hovering took almost full throttle. I tried an APC 10x7E at the house and the motor was getting warm. Didn't want to take a chance burning it up. By the time I flew the second flight, the wind was picked up pretty good. Plane flies really well, even in 10 to 15 mph winds. I'm going to try some different props even though the 9x6 is right at the max amp draw for the motor.

Thanks I thought we were talking about the Matt Chapman 580 here. I got my treads mixed up. Too many planes on my brain. Thanks for the info. Mike

I hear ya. I'm thinking the 150 watts per pound for 3D is conservative. I'm thinking that 200 watts per pound would be more to my liking.
