Default RE: prop!

What`s there to what about? I really don`t think his plane weighs 3 kilos unless it is VERY VERY heavy built. I`ve never said great pull out with incredibly authority, but I flew my harrier 46 which was about 2.7 kilos with both the MVVS 49 and the XLS 52 and had absolutely no problems pulling out of hover, later I put in a 91 twostroke and that was incredible. The major point here is that his engine is underperforming and we should try to find out why.
My profile was weighing in at exactly 2.4 kilos and was a rocket out of hover with my XLS 52 (let me add to that that I have broken 15K on the APC 12-4). Lately I too have been mostly using wooden props for 3-D applications, so we agree there

All my 3-D planes now have more than 2-1 thrust-weight ratio ( someone said I was crazy to put my 180 fs in my Harrier 90, but it was just perfect), but to just pull out of hover doesn`t call for that much power and that is what ALANXP is trying to acchieve, and he will once that West engine does what it is supposed to do

Oh, I forgot something, my MVVS pulls 4.3 kilos on a digit fish scale and the XLS is a little stronger (in case that is what made you WHAT! my previous post) I have modded my engines and I`m not saying his engine will produce such numbers, but to climb a plane of about 2.5 kilos or a little more out of hover should be well within the reach of the West .50
