Default Advice on gas plane

DIESEL,

I have tried a mens 22/8s. Performance was just as good as the 22/10 mejzlik a little less speed at full throttle, and a bit higher RPM's. However the next time I fly (this Sunday) I will tac both props too see what rpm range I am in, and probably fly the mejzlik because I did find at half throttle the mejzlik was cleaner then the mens. The mens was a little burbled. or should I say not as clean at half throttle and both were very clean and strong at top end. (all this was done with " FACTORY" settings!) Idle and transition were great with both props. I had a hard time shutting the motor off with low trim. thats how low this thing idles. Maybe I'am wrong but it seemed to me the motor liked the heaver prop. I really don't know that much about gassers just learning as I go along.
