I think I'll keep running this engine 'till it goes out and then get an os or saito.

The engine is currently in my brand new H9 super stick. it's maiden flight will hopefully be monday. I'm hoping the power to weight ratio is good enough to start practicing hovering.

Am I being way too optamistic?

I havn't weighed the plane yet and I'm running an 11x8 prop......



That engine should fly it well....however, if you really want to try hovering, I would suggest a larger diameter prop with less pitch, like a 12x6 or maybe a 13x5 or 13x4W

Your 11x8 would be better for speed...not hovering.
