I have the Hyde ARIA mount, which is kind-of overkill. I am using a regular Hyde A mount in the next project, which is what I would suggest using. I had the Hyde A in the Focus II while I struggled through the first half of the eason with a Webra 1.60 (or 1.45, depending on which wasn't broken at the time). Anyway, the A mount is a fine choice, no nose ring needed.

The Dave Lockhart mod is just a re-pitching of a 3 blade APC 15.75x13 to 11. It's about the same load as a 2 blade 17x13 std APC. Actually, depending on the pipe, the OS 1.60 will turn this prop anywhere from 7700 to 8200 and the needle setting is just not critical or touchy at all. It's extremely user friendly, great throttle response for a so-called "non- pattern engine". I don't think there's much else around that will touch that and they are super reliable. Best header is a Karl Mueller wrap around, which he custom makes in about 2-3 weeks for $40 each. You can also get a Hatori wrap-around header and grind out the opening to fit the exhaust opening sized of the 1.60, but it's better to just send Karl $40 and get one perfectly fitted.

BTW, that 15 min on 16 oz, not 30 min! I do two trips though the Masters in the same flight, filling a 20 oz tank and have about 1/3 tank left at the end.
