Thanks for the compliment Bob.

Actually, I don't think I picked up any RPM. I've been turning around 6,600 all along. This sounds low compared to what other guys are getting, but the engine runs fine. Maybe it's the prop? I'm running a Xoar 22 x 8. A friend is loaning me his Mejzlik 22 x 8 that I will try. (I was already running a Mezjlik before, but just for like a day as I nicked the tips the first day out!).

And the engine seems to be running so well I'm afraid to mess with the needles much just to squeeze out more RPM when it's already running so well.
