Yeah, my Homelite 30 on this plane is all hopped up. Out of all my planes with large engines, it is the only one still running on pure gas; not Gas/Glow. I know a lot of guys like the 18 x 6 prop, but I usually use a 16 x 8 because I like the speed. This bird is pretty "clean" though, so it is really fast with the 16 x 8. I may try an 18 x 6 on it at some point to see if I like it. It definitely would help slow it down on landing approach.

Yep, we are back in Penasco. Do you have a website for your club, or your sales?

Ask away about the Rotax. I've sure done a lot of that. Even attended the Rotax engine school in San Francisco and became certified a few years back.

Take care,
AV8TOR
HELLOW AVATOR: Have you tried the 18x6 prop yet? Try it on the ground and let us know the RPM. Thanks Capt,n[:-]
