ps. engine running way too fast....I will get it right next time.

Yes, you are a bit on the "fast lane".
If my stopwatch is not fooling me, 4,8sec-4,9sec lap.
At such Speed its more difficult to fly precise , like all Loops at the same spot and angle.
Maybe try 2 feet longer lines and/or smaller venturi before experimenting with other props.
Engines sounds powerful happy on this rich 2 stroke setup.
My two Cents....gents.

You can purchase tri-pods that hold cameras. Holds them still.
My Pathfinder has an OS LA 46 and weighs 55 oz. No mods, built right out of the box.
Still working on props for this engine choice, but guys have been helpful with suggestions and recommendations.
Flies nice, be nice to know what's going on with this model?
Looks like a great field, hard smooth surfaces are great. That's all some guys fly off of. To be that lucky.

Thank you for the reply and for trying to help. But this was my first flight after I changed to a totally different fuel, and I did not dial the needle properly. Normally I fly this Pathfinder around 5.3s laps and all works quite fine.
I may need to adjust the tank a bit, though...
Just wanted to show how well the Pathfinder flies.

a Tripod would be nice to make videos, as well as a wide angle camera. this was done with a smartphone and it was not a planed movie.
I am afraid I wont be able to help with the 46LA prop.
If you have any specific question about the Pathfinder will be glad to answer.
