Default Pete n' Poke

Thanks guys. I checked the wing incidence, the cg, the valve settings. Everything was fine. What made a difference was going to an 11x6 prop instead of 12x4. I also went the YS 20/20 fuel, although I,m not sure of the impact of that. I was flying at approx. 3500 feet elevation instead of the usual 500 feet, but the plane flew great. Very similar to a Slow Poke. Definitely a keeper now. I will expand my reading as to props for sure. I thought I had the basics, but not really.
