I'll probably drop back to 10% MV oil soon, but I'll put up a few more flights with the 19x11 before I change anything. It's still bedding in a new ring and I don't want too many things changing at the same time.
Sounds good.

Frazer Briggs was running the 19 x 11 on his 170 at the Trans Tasman in NZed last weekend and if flew the plane really well.
