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.



Take care,
AV8TOR
Did you ever try that 18 X6 on that bird? Thanks Capt,n
