If you don't mind my asking, what props are you running?

I haven't put the mustang in the air yet, but it's ready minus paint and I'm anxious. I used a APC 9x6e prop on the spitfire but it felt like like the last 1/4 throttle didn't do much I think it might not have been balanced well, the first 3/4 throttle was nice lots of pull (thrust?) and much faster than the NTM 2826 1200kv i was using before. The spitfire was klunky though the big motor big spinner I added wheels from RC penguin's design and a steerable tail wheel. it didn't fly as well with the NTM with all that junk that' why I went to the exceed motor with the 9x6 prop. It was faster but still klunky, I stripped it down to the basic build and put the NTM back on, flies great again but I've got the need for speed I saved the 1380kv motor for the mustang but I'm having CG problems with that 70g motor and the spinner. My ESC is at the front of the pod, I need to make a battery extension and put it to the back of the pod and I shoudl be good with a 2200 mah battery, I added 3 little wood car weights to the back and a tail wheel to try and balance it and it's still looks a little too much nose heavy, hopefully moving the ESC will fix it.
wow that's more than you asked for to officially answer your question, I'm using an 8x6e prop it has a smaller hub and the 9x6 wouldn't fit with the spinner on the prop adapter. I static tested it and it seems to want to pull out of my hand so we'll see!
If I get a chance today I'll take it out and run it and report back. maybe sweet talk the wife in to taking a video too.

Shiny!
now that you've played with it, how does the stiffness compare between papered and taped?
