I don't have the final solution prop installed yet but the 22x12 two blade prop for the test flight worked well but has very little ground clearance. A 20x12 three blade is on the way for me to try out. With the 22x12 the fuel burn rate is around 2 ounces per minute WOT. I have a 32 ounce tank so that gives me an easy 10-12 minute flight with a reserve.
The engine runs fantastic. Here is the build link that has the test flight video. Sorry for the poor camera work but my volunteers had never used a video camera before.
