RE: Need a sturdy carbon prop...
Thanks for the suggestion on the CG Jeff. I have had it aft of 6.5" already and it was a bit lively of a flyer for me. I think it is around 6.5" now. The other thing I can do is angle the landing gear more forward to prevent nose-overs. I'm doing all I can with the elevator on takeoffs and landings right now but occasionally the plane ends up in grass long enough to catch the gear doors and tip it forward.
