Let's hear some of the successes and opinions on propping, desired RPM, fuel, etc...

Thanks and Happy Flying!

90 inch Vailly Seafury @ 42 lbs. G62 converted to electronic ignition and carb bend. Original 22x10 prob substituted with a 21x12 which made a large improvement. It now has a Zenoah GT-80 twin.
It flew ok but took a long take off roll
