  I've been trying the 18x10 prop on my Mintor to see if it can be a cheaper alternative to the repitched 3 blader.  So far so good, but man is it big looking on the front of the plane.  I've finally arrived at the magic 25 flight barrier and my symph has most kinks worked out and exorcised gremlins.  If I wasn't building them for other people, I'd have another going by now.

    Yes...kind of a TX, LA 402 group grudge match...we had a fun year and close competition throughout....just wanted to get together and fly one last time this year....and heckle one another!

    Lance,
    Richard is really flying his new Aries very well.  He nearly won the 5th round at LARKS with less than 10 flights on the plane. I saw Mike H. and Don R. fly their Symphony's at LARKS....wow, that plane is incredibly refined in the air.  Mike is using the new apc18x10pn on an OS140 and it really flies well on that prop.  I think Don is flying his with a 140L.  It looks like power is not a problem even though that YS looks small in there.  Looks like you guys at Aeroslave have a truly world class machine that rolls as good as the Aries and carries a distinctive widebody form.
