    55.6 mph UL-1

    Did some prop testing with a 8xl today & an etti 125 ESC with extra caps & G3 6500 mah lipos , and was very impressed with the speeds & handling ,strut set at 7/8 deep & angle nuetral...total of 4 miles coverd on one set of lipos on glass conditions ...

    1- 225 prather / SB- 53.7mph / very good off the mark / temps ok
    2- octura 2047- 55.6mph /temps a little on the high side & hard to get onto plane
    3-40x57 sharpened- 52mph/ temps cool

    my favorite prop with this set up was a octura x445/SB , very quick off the mark & good top speed but did not have the GPS on board for that one.

      Lets see, 6 laps around a course is equal to 1 mile..........6x4=24 laps.........4 miles on a set of 6500 mah lipos.....must have been a good tail wind.

      Good speeds though.

          Either get the x445 detongued or try an m445 - I GPS'd at 47 with the stock setup.

              Set the cutoff speed at 10 and that won't happen.
