ORIGINAL: daven

I ran an apc 14x4 Wide blade prop on a super tiger g90 and loved the combo. The plane was a 60sized chipmunk and it was way overpowered and fun to fly. That prop does spin up, but the ST really liked it.

On a .40 sized plane I think it would be a fantastic combo.

As to the 225 servos, although their torque numbers are impressive, their gear train is light. They work ok on speed planes with very little surface movement, but on something like a stick with big ailerons and elevators, not sure they would hold up well. Probably would recommend at least standard sized servos here.
Thanks for the reply! Hoping to hear something like this. Yea, I've about talked myself out of the HS225 servos after hearing more than one person steer me away from them. I have a few of their HS5485-HB that I will probably use instead.

I've been advised to look at the Magnum 91 XLS in addition to the Super Tigre. Don't seem to be too many people that sell those. Looks like it has the OS 91 bolt pattern for the exhaust which would make finding headers and mufflers pretty easy.
