[size/pitch for thurst (not speed) & braking]

on watt meter when you get it and put a pull scales with strap tail connected to wall to see how much pull you get

try 11x 6 and below and go up to 12x5 12x4 don't think your be able to go 13x4 right it all down and keep it for future Reffence

for less speed go down in pitch up in length and don't forget to make sure you got ground clearance

given a black horse tornado high

it just will not take off got loads of throw all going right way loads of power

when and only happen once or twice for the last owner it takes off then goes straight and its a fight to level out before stall then it flys fine no probs

tried increased angle on rear tail ie wedge at front to give straight fin with prop flow

any ideas please
