I don't really get into hovering either, maybe because I don't have much luck with it, But it is an excellent guage to see if an aiplpane and engine combo will(pull it's pwn weight). The "Holy Grail" to me is power to weight.As soon as I get my impatient hands on one of these motors I will post tach readings for props run on the OS160 and OS140. This will give you something to go by. Every airplane,engine and prop combo is different then with all the variables there is still the human element and personal taste.
Soon we will have real numbers'
