I was just about to mention that you should verify the accuracy of your tachometer,but it looks like you have already thought of that. Sounds like a good plan,it's always good to verify information like that so that you don't damageyour engine, or worse...Have you considered carving your own prop? Several people on this list have doneit, this way you can get the exact prop that you want at substantial savings.Dan Helsper offers a really well put together CD on prop carving that is wellworth the price if you are interested in trying this out for yourself.--------Billy McCaskillUrbana, ILtail section almost done, starting on ribs soonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: model a heads
