Would a Saito 125 give this plane enough power to 3D?

Does anyone know how much throttle is needed to prop hang?

Thanks
Jonathan

I have 3D'd this palne with that engine. The answer to your question is YES. However.... With an APC 14X4W, it hovered at about 3/4 throttle...maybe a bit less. Pull-out was sluggish at best....and you have to know, about a second in advance; when you will need power. Spool-up was quick, but not as quick as gas.

My point is, YES it will 3D and it's not a 3D monster. I think this plane is perfect for transitioning to gas....I flew 20+ gallons of glow through this plane and have since moved to gas...well, gas and Charger foam.




Good Luck!!
