I could maybe lean it a bit on the low by a fraction but i think i will just leave it be for a for now. Plenty of power spinning a Menz 22x12 three blade at 5600 on the ground and unloads nicely in the air without being under propped. Cheers for sharing your experiance i think it is good advice.
It will be interesting how the FG90 goes ! If i had one i would be treating it the same way for sure.
Cheers

Great! I recommend running a gallon at least thru before thinking about leaning it out. You might consider a xaor wood 24x12. I painted mine and love it over the carbon fiber. The sound and it will pull the plane thru the air and cool the engine better. I flew with the 24x10 Carbon Menz and like the wood painted sound better.
Congrats, keep us up to date.
