Default RE: EXTRA 330 QUESTION

I got mine together using a 4 cell 4000 pack 20c .. with a 60a eflite esc.. spinning a apc 13x10 prop.
Watt meter reads 675 watts at 45 amps. weight is around 5lbs 4oz. Running that larger bp motor.

I expected more watts .. according to bp chart is should be around 800 watts.. seems low.

I did the verticle hold in place while throttle up test and it almost jumped out my hands.

So now I have confused myself... larger diam prop will draw more amps and watts right?

So if I go to a smaller prop it will draw less amps and watts.. but it will spin faster right?


So what is better.. im not flying 3d just precision aerobatics.

hope to fly it tommorrow.
