Default RE: ST2300 Testing and Experimenting

Master Airscrew Classic 16-10 turned out to work good too.  I didn't bring my tach but the throttle response was great from idle to full and from one third to full and one half to full.  Didn't touch the needles and it was still able to do sustained nose high attitude without any noticable leaning out.  The 16-10 prop didn't seem to offer the thrust of the lower pitch props I've tried as you'd expect.  I'm going to put an 18-5 zinger on next and see what happens.

6 ten minute flights on Sunday doing much more full throttle turning and burning and this thing is still sipping fuel.  I still have a gallon jug of fuel over half full after two weekends worth of flying.

Whoohoo!
