Default Hacker A50-16L Question

Hi
I have just fitted a brand new Hacker A50-16L to my Wind 110 and once i had the prop fitted I tried turning the motor over. To my surprise it felt quite tight and it took considerable force ( more than I would like ) to turn the motor over. In comparision to the Hacker in my Angel S which turns pretty freely in fact when I flick the prop I can easily get it to rotate a full 360 degrees without putting too much effort into it. The Hacker in the Wind by comparision will only rotate maybe 45 to 90 degrees with the same effort. I have checked its fit to the airframe and done this test wth and without the rear support bearing with the same results.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal? The last thing I want to do is toast my motor and take out my brand new ESC while I am at it.

Mike
