Default RE: Hotrodding the E-flite Apprentice?
$3 upgrade to Apprentice:

12x8 prop

I cannot tell you how much fun this prop makes the plane! The overall speed is increased, climb rate is out of this world, and Idid a prop hang with a trainer airplane! I have been careful notto go completely 100% power for extended periods of time, and I have also checked the ESCfor high temps, and it is cooler than normal (I don't understand this).This only negative is that flight time is decreased by about 2 minutes (down from 18 mins at 80-100% throttle).

****If anyone has a watt meter andsome time, could you please tellattemptanampdrawwith a 12x8 prop on the standard Apprentice motor and ESC?
