Default Brillelli 46 prop??

Just wondering what you fellas are running on your 46's?? Mine is in my Christen Eagle (GP). What are you running in yours? Also, my mid range is somewhat sloppy. I'm thinking the needles need adjusting a bit.. any good info on adjusting needles on gassers??
Thanks!!!!!

Not sure but the use of a higher pitch prop may help midrange. Not enough load in mid-range with a low pitch? Well its something to try. Capt,n

Thanks for the suggestion.. I'll have to give that a whirl.

Also.. since this engine has a built in pump, would it be best to fill it via a 3rd line like I have right now, or would it matter if I did it off of a T fitting on the fuelline to the carb? I wasn't sure if it would flood the engine or not.

The carb has a one way inlet needle in it, there's no way to flood the engine by fueling through the line from the tank with a T fitting..Make sure the T is completely sealed after fueling....

A good prop for the Brillelli 46 gt is the 20x10 Mejlik. Excellent pull and speed up to about a 15 pound plane.
