Please dont just watch. Your input is well needed since yours is one of only a select few that have flown.
Id like to get your impression on different flying traits, etc since we are both at the same elevation, its direct useable info for me.
I have the 220 in my H9 1.50 p-51 and I think its ok, but not overpowered and the plane only weighs like 17 pounds or so.
In your 109, you said its too much motor? Is that simply because of the vibration or that it simply pulls the plane around with little effort?
Mine is electric, with 2000 watts available. Of course thats well over the 80 watts per pound required for SCALE flying(on a warbird) assuming a 15 pound plane...in fact its pretty close to 3D capable at 133 watts per pound. Even at 16 pounds, it would still be 125 watts per pound. So, do you think the stress of the power from the 220 is a little more then the plane is designed for requiring additional mods from the builder?
