E5SS Tail Ratio

[grewrob]

I'm about to stretch my E5 to an E5SS. I know most people are increasing their tail ratio to 4.9 and are using 106mm tails. Since I have a few sets of 116mm tails laying around, I plan on using those. I'm thinking the 4.9 tail ratio will be too much. I will be likely flying 1400 - 1750 RPM head speed. Thoughts?

You will be fine with those speeds.  I run that tail ration on my E5s, and my highest head speed I run is 1850.....I know it will go much higher, but that's plenty fast enough for me.
