Default RE: DL-50 engine


I just placed an Internet order at Thunderbolt RC. Unfortunately they did not have an Xoar 22A PJE prop in stock,
so I bought the 22B.

I also bought a white Sword 22x8, if I get close to 7000 rpm on the DL 50, it should pull around 25 lbs of thrust and that should make my 16 lbs Pitts Special accelerate strait up with smoke on, like the space shuttle. LOL!!

I also borrowed a Pro Zinger wood 22x10 prop, so I will be able to compare the Xoar 22B (22x10) against the Pro Zinger and will report my findings.

This will be my first large 68 inch wingspan gas plane with a lot more thrust to weight ratio, cant wait to fly it and do some tumbling, as the Pitts is suppose to be one of the best tumblers in the RC world.

You can never have enough power, as you can always throttle back.
