Looks like you posted as I did.

I get 9500 rpm top end and 2250 idle from mine with the stock 3-blade prop and fly-wheel. I'm changing mine to a 2-blade 12 X 6 Top Flight wood prop and hope to see it over 13,000. I've heard Evolutions are not fast runners but will swing some lumber. I'll try a 13 X 5 wood on it after flying it with the 12 X 6 for a while just to see what difference it makes on the aircraft performance.

One word of caution to the newbies out there - don't fly a wood prop until you get your landings down, or let me know when you do so I by a lot of stock in the company that makes the props you'll use while learning landings.
