Well,

I had ordered a 9 X 6 E prop as well as a 9 X 6 Slow flyer prop. The new props arrived today, and tonight I took it out for a quick flight. The wind was blowing a steady 8 mph with gust running up to 15. Well above recommended flying speeds, but I had to check it out. Using the 9 X 6 slow flyer prop, the plane shot out of my hand and power climbed to about 70 feet before leveling off. Even though the wind was howling for the little plane the extra thrust from the new prop allowed me to throttle back and maintain altitude. The extra thrust allowed me to actually manuever into the wind. I couldn't however keep it level with the wind like it was so I brought it down. I was suitably impressed with the improved power. When I get a calmer day I'll post how it responds in more favorable flying conditions. Thanks for the prop suggestions, they helped a lot!!
