You cannot expect to keep the throttle in one position and keep the plane at a constant speed as you are going thru a large loop. Do you mean that you are not increasing your throttle when you are climbing and not decreasing your throttle when descending?
No what i mean is that even when increasing power the plane seems to gain too much speed vs pull. I need more "bite"

How heavy is your Edge and what does your 1.08 turn your 15x6? It should pull very well if the plane is only around 8-9 pounds.
came in about 8.8lbs

I will get a few props and see how it works out.

Thanks
I understand.. When you are flying in a straight line, at 1/3 throttle you are hauling butt,,, too fast. BUT, when you try to do a large loop you cannot make it over the top because your engine prop combo does not pull hard enough under a load.... You do not have enough torque. Bottom line AussieSteve was right, go up in diameter and down on pitch 16x4W or a 17x6 are probably a good start.

Let us know the outcome...[8D]
