Repair/weight loss under way.

Chris, I did not need to add any weight to the nose had a look at the back of the model nothing ther i can get rid of to save weight.

Norman, thanks for the offer I had a look at the spec of the motor it would require a rework of the nose to get it to fit in.

I ran the Motor up this morning. I was wrong about the RPM its 7500 on a 15x6 so its only just in the power band so perhaps there is an issue with the motor. I need to investigate valve clearances etc.

Thanks for the offer Max I will persevere with the 100 for the moment.

My Laser 90 in the Hurricane does 8500 on a 14 x 7 Graupner grey. Not sure if the 100 is designed for torque or power but a wide blade 14 x 6 would be worth a go?

Everything I think of doesn't apply :X

If it had been a black Master Airscrew that would have held the revs down.

There are a good range of APC props around these sizes but it could be an expensive exercise finding the best one.

Hi Chris. In some ways that's good it means the model ant set up is mostly correct its just to heavy.

I have only used M/A props one and thought they were rubbish so haven't used them since.
