Day 2 of flying with the new beast, 15 x 6 prop & stripes under the wing. Can't say I noticed any difference in acceleration for take off and still definitely not lacking power rocketing into the air. Flies vertically at 2/3 throttle, prop hangs at a little over 1/2 throttle. Landings becoming easier now that I am becoming more familiar with it's characteristics. A very worthwhile build for stability, aerobatics.
