Billy Hell, you are one funny guy, but very likeable. It's funny how you strike me as one who really wants to absorb all the knowledge that is available in this forum, or anywhere, but you do refrain from asking a lot if silly questions, like many others at your level do. Cheech did bring up an interesting point. The prop producing the most stationary thrust, may not be the best prop for hovering and TR'ing. It oftne depends on at what throttle setting the prop/engine produces the thrust needed to maintain altitude. A prop that produces the most thrust at WOT, may not produce a whole heck of alot below say 75% throttle, so to hover, the throttle has to be well above 50%, which to many is to high a throttle setting. I do like a prop which is not very jumpy, so I can blip my throttle in large blips without having the plane jump all over the place, but it induces good TR, I guess I like a "soft" prop.
Billy, just burn some fuel, there is no way around it. Hovering and TR'ing becomes more and more 2nd nature with time, before you know it, signals wil go straight from your eyes to your fingers, bypassing the brains he he, and it will all make sense.
