<DIV>I've been running the 4 blade and like it. Very quiet, with good down lines. Also makes the plane react a little smoother over a two blade.</DIV>

<DIV>I have the 19x10 but I don't think I have enough ground clearance. What's the consensous on the 15.5x12, 4 Blade? I would like to minimise left hand work while maximising speed control.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Best if you can run on test stand and then you can adjust your pipe while breaking in. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>On 15% Cool Power and an Aeroslave c.f. pipe I am running the length at about 25-26 inches from center of plug to the main baffle. My current engine is pulling a 19x10 Mejlik prop but the Lockhart 15.25x10 3-blade is a good choice and the new APC 18.1x10W 2-blade is good also. Run the low end as rich as it will allow and you will get good downline braking with this setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wasnt so sure about using the Mejlik but after this weekend am convinced. A few guys from the club commented that the downlines where as slow or the same speed as the upline. So a big Yeh haa on the setup finally. Very quite too almost ELECTRIC LIKE. It works good in moderate winds too. I have yet to run it in winds over 15ish but I can always go to the trusty three blade.</FONT></DIV>
