My hog is a real beast at 9lbs 12oz. I've got a Saito 100 installed and it will hover (quite well actually!) and can pull the plane vertical FOREVER! the plane balanced perfectly with the battery in the compartment just under the fuel tank.
I simply dont believe a saito 100 with hover a 9-3/4 pound plane, much less pull out like you say.[&o]
I really have no reason to lie...surprisingly the Hog Bipe can hold a hover very well, give it a whirl some time. i use a 14x6 prop. It doesn't go vertical like a rocket, but it is unlimited.
I have given it many years worth of whirls! This is my hog bipe with saito 100, weighs 8 1/4 pounds and it wont hover on 30% fuel!
