As for the prop - what was the engine size.model again. It's been a while since you mentioned it and most of us won't remember it and don't have the time to hunt for it. Therefore we don't know if you have picked the correct props. Most of us are getting old and senile with no memory left so you need to remind us of little things.

As for carving nose and fairing blocks, a razor plane makes that go pretty fast.
