Default Ground clearance

Honestly, we fly them now with 91's (laser 3D's as well) in with a 14x7 APC prop. It over revs with that prop but you'll never reach full throttle in flight. It gives you plently of power and it also gives you the instant get up and go when your in trouble.

By the way. Rubber mount it, ultra quiet and it doesn't shake your plane to bits.
Great choice of engine since it is in the same case as the 60. Might be a problem with clearance with the supplied gear. I will have problems with the prop from the 60. Have you tried the 14-4W prop?
