Did you try the 18.1x10W blade? It's a good prop, just a hair too much load for the DZ.

BTW you know you can fly the VF3 if you want. That goes for pretty much anybody, as time allows.

No, not the wide....but did try the 18.5x9.5 W and it was okay at two clicks richer setting. Tremendous brakes but I wasn't thrilled with the acceleration....a bit too much non-useful blade area that can easily be remedied. It has about 25% wider blade than the 18.1x10. I also didn't care for the very wide hub which interfered with the spinner cone. But the Webra has the beans for it so I felt that a 19x10 (reworked 18.1x10) would be just right.

I would definitely want to fly the model....maybe Saturday after the Finals??

Right now I'm getting ready to go out and play. It's a beautiful day here in NJ. I'll let you how the 19x10 worked
