This is what Saito says here
But I see the TT peaks at 15,000 if you want the full 2hp.

My Texan was about the same size and ran a 120 4 stroke - I ended up using a 13 x 8 wooden Bolly prop.

I have the Seagull Harvard/Texan ARTF and the prop tips are only just outside the cowl, and it flys beautifully. Of course its electric, so it DOES have a head start Grumps :woohoo: :woohoo:

The full size Texan uses engines and so should the model.

I did hear that originally they thought of electrifying the full size I read somewhere that they couldn't find a long enough extension cable, so every time it took off, it pulled the plug out!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
