Now for the fun bit the prop testing,when we went out on wednesday we got 70.6 mph at 6,600 and the limiter on the engine is set to 7,700 so we have to get the revs up ,i'v just got the prop i had worked which started life as a big eared chopper 24 then it was made into a et lighting copy so i was told and was in rather bad shape , i have had it re pitched to 24 all over ,thinned ,cleaned up. I'm going to lift the engine one bolt hole as well but will try the prop first to see where its at.

went out saturday with the new prop on it worked realy well very snappy we got 69.7 at 6,000 so the same speed for less revs think the prop is slipping at about 6% ,what we think is the engine needs lifting and maybe running a 2-1 gearbox .
