Hey Mike
I fly the 18.1 10w on the Wood shinden in all weather conditions on the 1.6 dz
this airplane is 11 pounds even.

What we need is a 18.1 10.5 regular blade to help with the noise a little better.
the 1.6 is a beast the 1.7 has to be a little better though
However the wood Shin. has a thinner airfoil
the Composite version don`t like it too much in the wind.
HUMMMM!
Might be able to convince Troy to join the team next year !!
that was Bait Troy, [X(]
