As it turns out, it is very hard to find a local hobby shop with props smaller than 5.5 x 4.5 that could use a prop adapter. So, Ibought a new motor instead. I made sure Igot one that had a direct drive rating that could handle the 5.5 x 4.5 prop and ended up with an e-flite 6 series motor with a higher power rating and lower Kv to manage my speed better. The result was spectacular with unlimited verticals, loop after loop and all kind of silly crazy stuff with no bogging at all. As a bonus the motor was lighter than my other one so Iwas able to remove some lead weight from the nose! After 10 minutes of mixed hard to slow flying my motor was only128 degrees, the esc was about 108 and the battery barely warm tot he touch. This was an expensive lesson for me but not as expensive as it would have been if my old motor caught fire in the air so I'm happy with the results. Live and learn

Ihaven't bought a watt's up meter because the LHS didn't have any. But, Iwould still ike to get one. Would you guys recommend an on board flight recorder or the kind you use during setup and testing?
