Great Planes Ultra Sport 1000 Testing APC 15x8 prop Aug 21, 2022

In this video the day after the initial maiden flight of the Great Planes Ultra Sport 1000 we head back to the field for some flight testing with a APC15x8 propeller. With the APC 15x8 prop on the Saito FG21 I was getting a tach reading of around 8300rpm. That is 300rpm more than the initial maiden flight with the APC16x8 prop. So sit back relax and enjoy this short video and lets see the US1000 with Saito FG21 and APC15x8 prop performance.

Flew my Citabria to day. Flew Great! A little aileron trim and I was good to go. Granted I did customize the build. Increased wingspan from a 69 inch wing to a 75” ws and I extended the nose moment as well as the tail moment . increased size of the vertical and horizontal stabilizer in relationship to the larger wing.

Awesomeness

Looks really like a daily fun flyer 👍

[@BayonasRCWorld]

Oh yeah! For sure

[@stevebarr9604]

That sounds amazing! I've got some Saito engines and they seem to be much better and easier to start than my other Four stroke engines! Awesome flying looks great!

[@BayonasRCWorld]

Thanks a bunch! I just love Saito 4 stokes gas and or nitro versions.

[@stevebarr9604]

Yeah that's why I don't care for a high pitched prop I prefer the torque with a lower pitch prop a little larger diameter! Helps me to slow down better!

Great job !!!!!

[@BayonasRCWorld]

Much appreciated

[@billjones3071]

Maybe try lower pitch prop also you could try flaperons

[@BayonasRCWorld]

Yes I had done that after. And worked like a charm. I forget from time to time the options we have on these computer radios. Provided that one did not set up the Ailerons with just one servo.

Maybe push cg forward also
