Fun stuff!

The Profi sounds real strong. Looks like APC prop, what size are you using?

Great flights. So bloody fast to watch I quickly gave up on the plane and watched your stance and arm. Then I could translate what you were having the lil buzzard do in the air.  I am still working on getting an electric 1/2a size combat wing working from either dollar Tree foam board or Phil carters lil hackers wing cores... 2 broken attempts so far. But still improving and NEVER giving up, never surrender!

It is a Cox 6x3 Rubber Ducky cut down to 4.0". The APC works well but they break in a crash. I've been running the same 2 cox props for about 2 years and haven't broken one yet. And believe me I have stuffed them into the ground many times. We've found the Cox prop cut down between 4.0" and 4.25" gives good RPM's and decent lap times without the breakage of the APC or Russian glass props. Plus they are super cheap.
