Default Prop size vs engine size

If the plane has too much dihedral for your liking maybe you should look at a shoulder or low wing sport planes. Trainers be defination are designed for stability. If you modifiy the specs too much you may end up creating a unmanageable plane.

You can get aerobatic trainers that are the next step from a trainer that are designed to teach you the basics yet still provide manageable landing characteristics.
..Crashem ,
I did reduce it and balance the thing.
This weekend if the weather is OK i'll see how it does.
I have a Avistar on the way here and I understand it's good step up from the Super Select-40 trainer and even better with an OS 46-L engine on it.
I'm looking for something with a bit more zip until I get my pitts built up.
Thanks for the post and GL Flying
