Another part of this equation... Since the slow flying electric set ups were not enough for the conditions at the US Nats this year, how much pitch at what rpm is enough to get through those windy days? Is the 18.1x10 @ 8300rpm on the YS160 enough for everything? It seems the gassers are spinning 20-22" x 10" props around 7000-7500rpm. Lots of thrust, but significantly less speed than the YS combo. Would this be enough? Or is this a question of power and not rpm? I'm trying to get a feel for what is really needed for the range of conditions that seem to be the norm and the info is scattered far and wide. What do the electric set ups run for prop and rpm?

Dick Hanson are you out there with the gas pattern perspective? Any electric flyers care to enlighten me?


Thanks,
