Well, at least you can put a proper prop on it, something that'll take off your entire hand, and not just a finger. I think the ads showing this plane with a dinky little 3-blade are a hoot. I also like a healthy power reserve, and, that's why these things have a throttle.

Just be careful of how much you give it on takeoff with the G-38. With that much power it will torque roll and snap on you if you aren't careful. Roll it on and be ready to use quite a bit of right rudder, don't come off too early. The thing looks great in the air.
