OK...just got a new TT-61 pro for an old bipe a guy gave me. I got the 11X7 that was recommended for break-in. I have a three flights on it now. I think this might not be enough prop. What are you guys using, and what do you recommend?
as for the plane, it is an old aeromaster bipe (I think that is the name). It seems like a brick in the air! I am looking for reliable flight and decent pull around the sky. There is NO WAY this thing would think of doing precision aerobatics with the bell crank system for the ailerons. Also, as I am concerned about flutter with the inherent play in the ailerons, I am not looking for top speed. (not that one would think a bipe a speedster).

Zee,
In 1979, not only was I doing precision aerobatics with an Aeromaster, it was powered by a ST G60 blue head and a 12x6 prop
Rigged properly, the bellcranks works very well. Considering, in 1979, that servos cost around $35-40 each (then prices) the bellcranks were worthwhile. Yes, a far cry from what we demend of things today, but just a bit of a history lesson from the days when airplanes flew, rather than hovered [sm=sunsmiley.gif]
