PM:
Will be taking the P-47, along with the F4U and F9F to Indiana warbird campaign over labor day weekend.
Been flying the new B-25 this season so this will be the first time out, this season, for the moki's.

Engine:
RPM's were climbing last season and now she is turning the 4 blade 30" prop at 4400 rpm's: Way too high.
As with the Corsair, some tic marks were put on the hub and prop and rotated each blade about 1/16".
I wanted around 3600 and, lucked out, getting exactly 3600 rpm's.


The new hanger9 tach is nice: it goes to 9 blades (should be enough!).
