Next I tried the 4" prop, not expecting it to do too well. Initially it did climb very slowly and looked like it wouldn't fly long. But then it began to climb in the thermals and got higher than with the 5.5" prop!

Just look how high it is compared to the trees in the background! After this flight I put on the 7" prop but it only flew about 10 seconds as it slowly lost altitude.

Despite the forecast for showers, we have a sunny afternoon! So I rushed back to the park and launched with the 5.5" prop using the same battery chage as before. This time thermals helped it get very high. Flight time was probably around a minute.

All repaired and ready to fly! In addition to the 5.5" prop I used before, I want to try out the 7" and 4" props shown here.

A couple hard, nose first, landings and I had to return home for repairs.

There is a tendency for the 1/8" wing incidence block to fall out, sending the plane into a dive that ultimately broke the engine free of its mount and sent the plane back to the hanger.

Just launched - starting to climb as it circles around. Flights are more smooth and not the jack rabbit jump out of the gate of a tightly wound rubber motor.

Keep your rubber, lube, and winders. Just 3-4 minutes on the charger and it's ready to go.

Ready to fly at the park tomorrow if I can get there before the rain does. Weight is 91.7 grams, 30 grams heavier than on rubber power.

KP-01 motor is retained with three 2-56 nylon screws. The holes were drilled and taped, a little thin CA wicked into the wood, then taped again.

3x110 mAh NiCd and 5 amp fuse (goes into the yellow socket) acts as a switch. Fuselage also had 4" cut off of the front.
