Adrian,

Are you running the 18X11 WPN on your 1.70s? I talked to Richard at YS and he said the Japanese are using these and repitching them to closer to a 12 and they really like them. I've ordered 2, but haven't tried them yet,

Hi Arch,

Yes, I've been using them for the last 3 months. One of my team mate repitched them to 11.8 for me, and its a real nice prop, up line is near perfect. If you set your throttle curve correctly, you can feel the torque increases on every single click. However, I found the down line is still a little fast. I'm sending him a few more to have him try a slightly different pitch. I've tried the regular 18x11 WPN on the 170, not enough prop.
