I'm frankly surprised that it's turning the prop that comes with it! I would think that the Prather 225 or 230 would have been better. Even the 220 takes a healthy motor to crank it. One other would be the Octura M445/3, it's a relatively new one from them but it's made for .45 motors.

Try an Octura 440 2 blade bronze, it did wonders for my S-Wave, more RPM and much improved top speed with the shims still on motor.

you might try to get one from howard power - email him at [email protected], it might take a day or two to get a reply as he is a busy guy.

Check in the Marketplace, Howard sells a lot of stuff in there.
A good Hobby Shop should be able to get you one if they don't have them in stock. Some need a minimum $100.00 order to buy from Octura.
