Simmple fact of life, the "Dude" gets more out of an engine than most. You gotta cheat to beat him (cut the pylons), but thats another story. I have been running the prop Dub recommended for the 50, a apc 8.75 X 8 or 8.5 and being whipped by a K & B 48 screemer tuned by the man. Worse yet, its in a World Models Avastar with the wings cut down to 40", no front end mods!!! Just driving me crazy as the Dude can imagine. My airframe is a Matney Animal Zoomer, a cross breed of Q-500 and Foumula. Do not have something right as it wants to kiss the ground in a high speed turn. Worse, CG is not the problem, motor incidence not the problem. Going to start fresh as am being driven more nuts. I will try the Dude's prop just for the heck of it. Hope no BANG !!!!

Dude: Just can not kill off old farts like me. Have been bussy building for friends and trying to get something fast into the air. Guess I will have to bend the rules a little more. Seey ya Bud!!1
