Top End Pitch?
My setup is a Raptor 30 with a Webra 35CH engine fitted with the TT "Deluxe" muffler.
I run the engine on 10% Coolpower and it has had about a gallon or so and exhibits excellent compression.
My question is what would the maximum pitch such a setup could take without overloading the engine. At the moment I am getting just under 8 degrees - should I be looking for more?
Thanks in advance

Gary, the top pitch your heli will pull is determined by the engine HP and the blades you use. The Webra with a stock muffler and 10% fuel probably won't pull any more than what you are getting...to get +/- 10 degrees might require higher nitro (which Webras don't seem to like!) or maybe a tuned pipe and 15% fuel.
