Gary:

I hear ya. What would you recommend? I've got an APC 10-8 and an 11-7 handy. I read on this site a while back about a guy who cut down an APC 11-12 to 9.75 diameter, so I was planning on trying that eventually. I've been so wrapped up working the bugs out of the plane I haven't had time to experiment.

My engine is taching only 13,800 rpms (using 15% fuel). I realize this is not the best engine for this plane, but these rpm's don't even come close to advertized (16,000). Any ideas?

P.S. Here's another pic that shows my cheezy decal style inlets a little better.......
