Try closer to 66 foot long lines. The Legacy is a relatively large design. You can try .015 dia. lines, but they'll feel stretchy when compared to the thicker, stronger .018's.

Glad I saw this. I have been flying my new Legacy off and on for the last two weeks and was thinking of lengthening the lines because even though the engine setting is sweet the plane just seems to close  so I chicken out of some of the manuvers. I'm at 65ft .018's.  St 51 with a 12/6 BYO prop. I'd like to iether move it away from me or slow it down wthout losing the nice engine runs I'm getting. Am wondering if I realy have a line length problem or maybe a prop problem?

Maybe I don't need the 51? Would a .46 be a better choice?

Thanks Tom-I'll try the 12/5

I agree with the above posts-go with the 12x5. Let us know what your lap times are. Everyone and every plane has different preferences however if you shoot for around 5.2 seconds per lap you will be in the ballpark IMHO.  If you get close and are getting good engine runs change the line length to get the lap times you are comfortable with, leave the NV alone. As far as the plane looking too close, big planes can look that way but you will get used to it. Check out the open forum for the dates of the WDA contests this year. Hope to see you there. As far as the original post goes...switch to the .018's. Length to be determined through test flights. 

Went with a Zinger 12/5 with takeoff rpm at 9500, which is a 100 rpm faster than I used to take off with the 12/6. The plane does handle better and doesn,'t seem to be as fast but the pull is fine. Am getting more comfortable with it.
