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 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. |
