Default RE: Yellow A/C Spitfire Retracts and engine.

I just flew a formation flight on Sat. 8/9 with Dave Szabo at Warbirds Over Minnesota. He is running a Zenoah G-45 powered YA Spitfire that weighs 24 lbs. with a Zinger 18 X 10-14 prop. It was fast and has fantastic performance. I would say that my DA-50 powered machine is only a few mph faster at best. It makes me think I need to try a lower diameter higher pitch prop. Leo
