Thanks for the info again. I am using the Carbon fiber blades. Seemed like performance went down with them. Same length and all. Had to do some major adjusting on the curves. of course the pitch on the blades wasnt the same. The big advantage i found with my glass over woods is they stay in track. The wood would work out of track once in a while. also had the covering come off of about 2 inches of the tip of one blade while flying. That was a little scarry, shaking, making all kinds of wierd noises, and falling like a brick. Thought about taking the head shim out of the engine to up compression some but with the 95-100 degree days and 70%+ humidity in MS, I am a little scared to.

Thanks , any more info will be appreciated
