Thanks to Brett & Circle Burner

Thanks guys for recommending the 9-4 APC for use on my LA25/Super Clown combo. Tried it with that prop this morning and what a difference. The engine loves it and the lap speed is just right for me with 60' lines. Just a tad more trimming and I will have a nice flying OT airplane.

Thanks again,

OTS Rulz!!!!

Great Bill, glad it worked for you!

You're welcome.

Another interesting combination.

At VSC I have been tuning up an ARF Flight Streak. This is resulting from losing my Stills Stuka to the wake turbulance demons.

The setup is 64 foot .012 solid lines, APC 9x5 prop 10% by 22% fuel 3 oz hayes clunk tank with one vent pointing into the breeze. Launch at 11,700 rpm. Othe people like to run these motors slower but I find they really like to wind out and be happy. Gets 4.7 second lap times and the plane flies fast like it needs to and the pattern is smooth and continuous. Prior lap times with the 9x4 on 60 and 62 foot lines was in the 4.3 range which is a little rushed for me. 4.7 is much more managable allowing me to paint the picture.

Bob,
What engine is it?

Bob,

This will only be "interesting" if you ever get around to telling us which engine you are using, along with some other variables not addressed.

Still, I suspect it is your 25LA. Even so, are you sure above specs are correct? Something, actually some things, don't mesh with what I have seen with 25LAs of others. Even your own, come to think of it.

I am very interested in your tank. Did it fit behind motor without problem? Or did you have to resort to my suggested Arkansas-type "technology." How is it plumbed?

An "edit," simply so Bob will see this and spend some of his leisure time telling us the rest of the story.
