Default Alternative to 1.6 FX

Stay with the 1.60 FX. It has plenty of power to do any of the 3D tricks. Use a good 18x6 prop and if using the brison muffler cut the rolled tips off. I have a 1.60 on my H9 edge and it have unlimited vertical. I use the 18x6W APC which pulls like a tractor out of a hover. Most of all keep this plane light. Do not exceed 13 pounds in weight.
Humm,
Maybe I need to lean it out some more, It's just that it kind of hovers around 3/4 and the pull out seems marginal and sometimes falls out to the side without climbing at all and I exit into a really cool knife edge pass. If it just had a little more it might be really good. The plane could also be heavy, I'll put it on the scale to check.
Thanks
