Status: offline 		I concur with Adrian. The 140L would be the best candidate to revive. With 30% Cool Power, (old style) Hatori header and 20" muffler, it rev'd higher than the 140 Sport and will easily turn a variety of props. My favorites were the 16 X 11 APC in calm conditions and a 16 X 10 or 15 X 12 when it got windy.

My, how things have changed. Hard to believe that just 7-8 years ago we thought that these props were big
