I am going to switch to a Falcon 32x11W propeller, the Falcon 32x12 is just too much pitch. It's not that the engine can't lug it, because it rips it on the uplines at 3/4 throttle, it's just that the thing doesn't slow down. I'm hovering at 1/3 throttle too!!

The airplane itself is probably one of the most responsive airplanes I've ever flown, it has a TON of aileron authority!! So much so that I'm going to make some adjustments to my 105 Laser because I believe I'm not getting the right aileron throw out of it. Hitec HSB-9381TH servos are rock solid and super locked in too. Can't wait to fly this thing more, 4 flights and the engine is getting stronger every single flight (it has maybe 2 gallons through it, she'll start making its full power around 5 gallons). :mario-banana:
That’s nice glad you are happy with it. Looks good in the air.

Did you happen to weigh it flight ready?

Installed a J&J Tailwheel with a tailwheel installation kit, both courtesy of Terry's Custom!! The J&J is TWICE as thick as the stocker, and is way more heavy duty.
