Sr Tel, Thanks

Also, does the 180 have a rib at the bottom of the crankcase whereas the 150 does not? I see something...

Makes me proud to see such an awesome fighting machine and brings me back to the days when I used to walk along the assembly line at Fairchild Republic in Farmingdale, NY.

Old Fart - You would be correct. I wrote the wrong prop size. I did have a 15x8 on the 125 not a 14x8.
