Yep. all those "W" and slow fly props pull an extra 25%-60% amps...depending on KV of motor.

Thanks guys, never ran a "W" before...
I'll probably test a few different 13"-14" and see which works best... I don't have a tach tho, just a watt meter.

Here is my setup...
Powerup 32 (800kv)
Exceed 60a opto
5a BEC
2 HK 51g? MG for tail
2 39g TP 5010 for ailerons
2 X 3S 2200mAH in parallel
Orange RX with sat
Better landing gear and big 4.5"-5" wheels...(not ordered yet)

RCallday, I would do that for ya, but I don't have a scanner...
I could get you some pics with a ruler in the background if that would help... that is, IF my cub comes with a windshield!

I have a buddy that has this cub, but I won't be able to get up there for another month or so and he does not have a scanner. If someone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Pls PM me for my personal email...

I don't have a scanner either, plus my windshield is installed, but have you contacted parkflyerplastic, maybe they could make it for you

Thanks. if I can just get a template of it, it's pretty easy to make. I've already bought a sheet of PETG so it's just a matter of cutting and bending it to shape.

There is a PLF chart (Prop Load Factor) in the TwisTaholics tips thread. I thought it had the variable for a "W"ide prop but im not finding it. Sounds like your offering "real world" numbers so thats cool. I remember it being a rather massive amount as you have stated. Seems like they were in the 45% range (like you said)

Well I finally did it and ordered one, how could I not, I kept on just waiting, and waiting for it rto sell out so I would have an excuse not to buy one, but it never did....

That 37.54 shipping just kills me. They offer a UPS rate at 18 bucks but it goes away when I complete checkout.

if you can get someone local to buy one and piggy back on shipping, total shipping for 2 planes is only $2 more.

Just buy 2 then it's only $20.00 each !

Lol...I am THE local (Song....Im my own LHS)

True...better...22 and change (sigh)

I don't understand their shipping either. Someone in CA was quoted $35.00 to ship it and to me in PA it was $38.00 ! Give a little here make a little there I guess.

I run some of the "W" props and they do pull. I was told the 3D fliers like them. I'm not good enough at 3D yet to really notice

Yep, combined with todays massive control surfaces, thats what makes it all happen.

....and remember if you do fly one, its like being in first gear! Pulls great but when you let off its like slammin on the brakes

I run a 20 "W" on my Sukhoi and yes it's exactly like coming in with full flaps and spoilers when you cut power!

Well Both of mine showed up to day, open both boxes and check the contents, and the only damage is one of the cowlings has a crack in it. But it is an easy fix.The motor I wanted to use is going to throw off the CG realy bad so I'll be using a Eflite power 32. Over all I would say the kit is well put together and worth the money, and if it flies as good as it looks then I'm glad that I bought Two of them.
