I had shaved the prop just a bit more. Slightly thinner and more taper to the end, but still kept it at 4". I was getting just over 21k on the ground. While I had the engine off to setup the bolt throughs I sealed the case to tank with rtv and put in a new backplate gasket. I've been using the tiny fuel line from texas timers which stays on the tank better.

You can see it's a tough little bugger to keep track of once it's going, especially on a dark day, keeps me on my toes. The bigger GLH, even at 100 is much easier to stay on top of. But she flies nice and it was around 10mph wind today. Enough that I didn't want to fight the wee stick that I brought so I never put it up. Plus I was having too much fun with the glh Never thought I would enjoy 020's.
