Ok, so I flew it.
It was a bit more nippy with only 1 batt, but still needs a bigger prop.
The coowling helped, but it isn't working properly as the prop is to small to get it up to speed.

So i reckon that if I get a bigger prop, the rpm will be lower but it will be generatiung more power which means plane will go faster and cool motor better, so I will order a 6X4 from GC Later...
