Flew the CAP today with a Xoar 20X8 Beech Ply prop turning 6600rpm with 19 pounds of static thrust. Plane hovers at half throttle with power to pull out of a hover slowly. Keep in mind that this engine is not broken in yet. I think if you want an engine to pull out with the kind of authority you're looking for you should go to a 50. Just my opinion. Once broken in, I'm sure this engine will pull out of a hover nicely.
