As Old Fart said in he previous post, no that's not too small a prop for an Enya. They rev to 12,500 safely with a manufacturer set "redline" of 13,000rpm.

Lets just hope as tim turned his back and throttled up he was'nt bending over,i'm assuming the 'thud' was a prop half hitting him
I'm not sure if you're taking shots at me or not, but regardless, no the prop blade didn't hit me perhaps as much as some of you wished it did. The thud was the prop blades hitting the plastic case of the GPS that I apparently carelessly strapped to a piece of wood. I later found out packing tape from 3M works significantly better than super small/short bungee cords. I probably shouldn't have ever posted in here since none of my messages pertained to your guys' such coveted Saito engines. Sorry folks.
