"Gerard,
Thanks for the info. I saw on some forums people using 17x5.5 prop with this motor. 
Could you tell me why you didn't go for a bigger (16 or 17 in ) prop?

Saad"

"Gerard, 
Can you tell me what data you used for the motor in ecalc? I don't see the motor listed under RCTimer motors on ecalc, so thought you might be using custom data.

Saad"
