Why ask Drube, It'll never run much less actually fly. There is only an hours worth of work left. He's moved on to a new nearly incomplete project already...heck he has already started a similar thread on a totally different model that has 90% of the CAD done.[X(]
Oh what have I done.. unleashed the demons of RCU to torment my soul? [:@]

I asked for it!

Soon as I get down to the LHS I'll get me some servos and another Rx and off we go.

Props suitable for this thing would be APC 4.2x4, 4.5x3.5, or composite 1/2A speed props like 4.25x4/4.5/5, that sort of thing. You could fly it on 1/2A combat props but those would hamper top speed although the pull would be tremendous by comparison. It's supposed to make peak power at 36k, and not to be propped for less than 30. Muffler? Nope, not a chance, bring hearing protection. Fuel - typical 1/2a fare is fine. Tank is a pressure bladder.
