Here's an idea to try is your .020 or .049 is proving too powerful for that undersized model you built!

Thin aluminium disk clamped to prop to reduce it's efficiency, of course, in my opinion, it's always better to build the right sized model!

My father built many glo powered freeflighters. I myself never built a engine powered freeflight. I love rubber power though. You just can't imagine unless you see it first hand how high a Cox .020 freeflight plane can go on a 10 second run. It's truly amazing. Even with the plane trimmed to fly in a circle it's very easy to lose it if it grabs a thermal. I've lost rubber power models the same way. A great example here of modeler's ingenuity to tame the engine. Ken

You should see the rate of climb of a racing .15 powered open power model!
