I've only owned and ran two of the 75's. No problems of any kind. Likes to rev, lots of power. The best prop for my use was a MAS 11x7.5 and I normally will not use a MAS prop. Use the provided glow plug for breakin and then an OS A-3 or A-8.

I use Omega 15% for all my two strokes. After all the problems that I have seen at the flying field with the tower 46's I couldn't believe how well all the 61's and 75's run.
I always run my engines on a breakin stand at home to get them run in and ready to fly with no surprises before I mount them in a plane. That said I was ready for a fight when I mounted my first 75 and started it since the 46's that I had seen were so ill manered, but the 75 tuning was a non issue.

Tower .75s are great. I have 2. They tend to like to spin up, as has been mentioned with the 11-7.5 MA prop. They will turn a larger prop. Think of them as a powerful .61. I have run every prop from an 11-7 to a 12-8 and a buddy regularly runs his on a 13-6 or larger with no trouble.
