prophecy ?

Tim
All the posts I have seen about your Prophecy are correct. 3/8 throw is more 
than enough all the way around. My concern would be that you will have a 
bullet on your hands with the power of the 160. Not trying to scare you but 
I would not fly it over 1/2 throttle, maybe 7000 rpm. The plane grooves like 
no other sport plane you will ever have and can really scoot at full 
throttle. I have had 2 prophecys and I powered the first one with a YS 140FZ 
which was more than enough power.
Plan on cruising around easy at first to get used to it and you won't have 
any problem with the plane. Just go easy on the power.
