Steve: Might you be carrying a bit too much prop? My Catto is 66" diameter for = 265 hp 3-rotor on a Velocity, and gets me about 5300 static WOT. I've got = 85 pitch, but of course you can adjust yours. Blades are different, of = course, but; perhaps the tips of the IVO would tolerate some trimming. Just a thought. Al
