Thanks for the video. That was some good flying. My questions are: How much pull out is there? It didnt sound like the motor was real high in its rpm range but I never saw a vertical clilmb out of hover. What percent throttle is it requiring to hold hover? Any idea what the planes weight came out too? It said stock g62....So is that not even the lightened version?

The best I can tell from my records is that during that video, my Extra weighed 18 lb. 6 oz. I would say I probably had 1000 or 1500 rpm left to pull out with. Plenty of pull out power that's for sure. And yes it was a stock G62, no mods, straight magneto with B&B muffler.
I've got another video taken several years back with me hovering my 20 lb. Giant Stinger with a stock G62, B&B muffler, and Mejzlik 22x10 prop. With that combo on a 95 degree day, there was very little left to pull out with. You can hear the G62 screaming away in that one. BTW I had tached that G62/Mejzlik at 7700 one time.
