Dave, here it is. I was way off in my assumption, you know what happens when one assumes. It is a fixed pitch designation, considered a changing pitch prop. It starts as a 10 pitch toward the center and tapers to a 6 pitch as it goes out toward the tip. The reason behind it is that it will flex less under load. Meaning that, static, an engine with a constant pitch prop, at full throttle, the tips of the prop will pull forward arcing the blades. On the other hand, mathematically a 15/6-10 prop averages out to a 15/8 which is considered too much pitch for this model. This info is from a 30 year vet, but I cannot say that it covers all the variables in prop selection and performance. Joe
Excelent work Watson... Now pass that syringe will you old chap

We were assuming pretty much the same actually.. never assume anything...it makes an......ASS outof U and ME..,thanks Joe...
Oh..! ment to ask this one a while ago too..any hot hints for pull/pull setups...the only thing i have been told is keep the distance from the centre of the servo, to the centre of the holes in the servo arm, the same as from the hinge line on say, your rudder, to the holes where the clevis pins go in the horns .... shall i type that again ...sounds complicated.. ...how taught are the cables supposed to be...?.. catch ya later...Dave

P.S..
Just took the kids up to get a DVD... Parked behind a new A8 4.2 Quattro [:-]....what would one of those cost over with you...
