i know this may be absurd to ask (since you may waste a perfectly good day for flying), but after all the suggestions and all the changes... wouldn't you like to try it with the 40 to see if it flies first? I am curious to know if it will get off the ground with the changes suggested...
Yea, a 6lbs trainer with a .40 and a 11x6 prop is exactly what I have. The thing climbs like a tame sport plane. Leave the combo and find out what's wrong with the airframe. A bigger motor won't fix an airframe problem. (Well, within reason of course
)
well I already have both engines off so I thought I'd put the .46 on the 6lb. plane and the .40 on the 5.5 lb PT40, just for symmetry, I guess. They have the same engine mounts so no redrilling etc. either way. But true, it makes sense it should fly fine with the .40 with the prop and nosewheel/incidence fixes.
