everyone wasn't so focused on using "pylon racing props", that would have
been achievable a couple years ago. High pitch props make their
thrust at high speed. Large diameter, low pitch props are what you need
for long, busy uplines. Keeps the speed across the box down below Mach 2
so you have time to fly the sequence with out rushing. I know the reason
for the high pitch props was to load the engine to keep the RPM's down thus
lowering the noise. All one has to do is manage the throttle a bit and the
noise won't be a problem. I guess another problem with large diameter
props is ground clearance. Finally people are getting wise and using
fixed gear that should raise the nose another inch or two.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

friends Midwest G-202 with a YS 1.40L swinging an 18X6 carbon prop
that weighed a hair over 11lbs. Knife edge loops were no problem as were
multiple upline snaps. Just imagine what could be done with a 9.75- 10.5lb
pattern bird.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

another round or contest I will go to sleep dreaming about the figure-9 with
