Manny the power is really good. Was using the Xoar 23/8 eagle nose prop. But it's tail heavy. You're going to struggle with yours

He's running a pipe Wade, so it's transferring more weight to the rear.

Buuuut being an ARF his could possibly be lighter in the tail

Mine has both batteries as far forward as possible. going with the lightweight BME 58 may have worked against me. If I have to, I'll add a 3rd battery up front
