Hay Georgiateddy,
I like what you said...I have a yellow ribbon on both my rigs.
I have been flying a PTE 36R in a ESM F6F and I'm very impressed with the engine. I am using a Master Air Screw 18x10 Symitar wood prop and very pleased with the performance. Great idle (1350~1400) and a transition that is flawless.
Soft Landings Always,
BobbyofMaui
