Well John, whenever I don't have enough different props to test on my new planes I always go out and buy a couple new engines!! I do it on line though so I don't spend any extra money going across town to Nice to buy some more props, I just hate wasting money and can't stand driving past the strip, all those posters of semi clad women!! Driving past Play it again Sam's also makes my mouth water for one of those wonderful cheese burgers and a beer, then the devel makes me turn around and look at those girls wearing nothing but a smile and a G-string, bad devel, bad!!! Then I just end up with boxes of different props of different sizes and things. I use boxes, my shop is too small to start putting much more stuff on the walls.
If I do buy more props then I have to go flying all weekend and test props to find the one I like, you know how much work that flying stuff is. Who in there right mind would want to spend a weekend flying there planes??
Just sounds like a lot of extra work to me. I think I will vote along with the new engine guys, I think I would pull the engine out of my sand rail and install it in the nose of the plane, 2300ccs should give it the pull and speed wanted. I do see a CG problem but it would save me that drive and money!!
Then again, those are some really good cheese burgers!!!
