Not sure about 'a few quick bursts' Phil, my MIG needed most of the power, most of the time, it's not over powered!!

Could be a lot of flame outs then or is it flames?
Calculating at 12.5 volts at 35 amps pans out at 446 watts

I'm going to stick with what I've got - for science.. I'll change out to 2200 after the maiden.

Something to think about though: Just 'taxied' the Sabre up and down the (slightly damp) lawn and noticed a massive difference in thrust when running without the canopy. There was a mention on YouTube of the Mig benefiting from cheat holes.

Here about 7 minutes in

Yes, Alan there are cheat hole videos on Utube. I did not mention it in case of undue scorn. I think I saw a square hole just forward of the fan and covered in some fine plastic mesh. Glad you brought the subject up then you can take the flak.....:lol:

It was mentioned here but looks awful and probably weakens the wings. Then sorts of peters out so maybe no advantage
