Gone to a Higher Plane

I am getting my WM 300 80" extra today and have been using a real storng and smooth Saito 180 on a 16/6 prop.
T was wanting to know I f I should increase pitch/dismeter size or leave well enough along/
BTW...I am using Cool Power 30% fuelat 660 ft. msl

Also any advise in getting it dead nuts right would sure help me out.

16x6 is not enough pitch. My 180 with 30 percent heli will turn a bolly 17x10 at 9500. I run it at 9300. Horizon says a 16x8.

Micheal...what plane do you have the 180 in and what kind of wing loading is it at...also what does it weight???
Thanks

Sig cap 231, it weighs in at 11.2 lbs. It is an absolute bottle rocket. the power is incredable. Not to sure on the exact wing loading but the plan is just under 1000 sq's.

I run a 16 x 10 with good results on my CG Ultimate with a 180.

Any bigger diameter and it won't stop at idle.

The 10 inch pitch makes it haul when you want it too, also.
