Engine installed and maiden complete! I initially had a 25 x 12 / 3-blade (and set to 5000 RPM because that's all I had at the time) which I did the maiden with; and although those that saw the flight though it did well, I felt it was underpowered and since I had reduced the max engine RPM from 160 to 140K to achieve the 5000 prop RPM, I knew I had room for more prop and power. I have since obtained a 25 x 17 / 3B, but have not had a chance to try it. I'm excited to give the new prop flown as I think the performance will be much better, but I think it will have to wait until I return again from work.

Please post your flight experience and prop set-ups.
