... Is this going to work out well on a model which should exceed 300km/h or 180 MPH?...
Hello j0rrit,

that is a nice "mixed" speed plane. But do you think your speed claim (factoring out massive downwind) is realistic with your actual power/prop setup? You need considerable more rpm to achieve true 300 kph with this airframe. About 35 thousand static rpm with your prop choice would be minimum, alas being not possible with the Rossi 6T. On the other hand more than 7" of prop pitch will be difficult to use effectively with your airframe.

Happy Easter
