    Not cool but glad he is alive.
    Had to be showing off because every time I even get close to a power on stall I think to myself how can somebody get to this angle and not realize it.

    3000rpm is where my engine loves to be and that gives 80mph indicated airspeed. I have tried lower rpm for cruise but it runs smoothest at 3000 and makes good power there.  Seems like every plane and engine tells you where it wants to be.

    I did and mine is way better at higher rpm but i did lose 8mph doing that.  Mine would never hit 100 with this setup 90mph tops. The first time I set mine up I was way over pitched it did 100 then but climb was poor and I noticed it was hard to slow it down on landing.

    I also run mine with the high rpm. Flat and level I can reach 3600 RPM.  Climb is pulling exactly 3300 RPM

    When I first installed mine I was a bit nervous because I thought there should be spacers between those hubs for the bolts to go through but in 100hrs it is still doing great. Enjoy.

    oh boy your gonna love how smooth it is.  I'm excited to hear the difference between your warp drive vs luga. All i had to compare was an old wooden prop and that was a night and day difference.

    Very nice and I see the propeller spins the right way. Does it have a belt drive in it or something?
