<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Don</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>That prop is a bit on the large size. I use a 16 x 12 or
15-1/2 x 12W APC (as per commander Northeast) The 16 inch is a tad noisier
but both give great pull @ 8400 up to 8600 rpm at sea level :-)
Needle sound about right for break in but mine are both about 1-1/4 turns
out now. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hope this helps,</FONT></DIV>
