Default RE: Black Horse Models FW190 A8 70

I have the 74 degree trunions installed in the retracts and have had several flights since. Engine is running fine and the DLE 30 is more than enough power. I installed a Beilla? 3 blade prop and found a True Turn spinner in the spare parts box. Took a little work getting it installed. The prop is 17-10. Troy Built models website says it will work on a DLE 30, or at least that is how I read it. However, it only turns up 5,500 rpm static. The Master Airscrew 2 blade turns 8,450 rpm static, which is reall too much since the engine is rated a 8,000 rpm. I'm afraid to fly it this way although I suppose it will pick up about 1,000 rpm while airborne. I like the looks of the three blade, but I think I need about a 17-8 three blade but don't know where to get one.
