Ran the .32 again yesterday - second time out. I am still running the Grim 42 x 55 prop, and we are starting to lean her out a little at a time. She is definitely picking up speed - blew over once on a full throttle pass. Decided to put a little negative angle on the prop to keep the nose down - worked great. Nice and fast, but no blow overs. Lowering the turn fin helped alot as well. I tried an M445, but hit the rudder and dinged the prop good. I had to restrict the rudder travel a little (with the radio) to avoid that. I should still have plenty of rudder for the turns still. I'll try that M445 next week when I get it bent back into shape. I will also be trying the ABC H-4(42.5mm X 66mm pitch).

Will try to get a speed on her. My GPS flew out out of my R/C truck and hasn't been the same since. We have a radar gun available as well. I'll give that a try next week.

Awesome!
Keep us posted. I just fininshed painting my MV, letting the boat dry good before I put the decals on
