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>

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>
