I have been flying a clipped wing model II for several years but probably never with the best prop. When first bought it had a gsc 68 in. tapered tip three blade. Worked great with the 532. I went to 503 after the 532 bit it. The 503 came with a 60 in ivo three blade. I ran it as a two blade with about the max. pitch for many years. For the last year I changed to a 3 to 1 c-box and went back to the gsc blades and a new two blade hub. This was good but I ruined the two blades yesterday and doubt if I can buy one blade exactly like the one left as it is so old and have never seen one as tapered. My dilemma is how to get the 3 to 1 ratio to perform as the 2.58 with out bussing the motor. The 503 detuned exhaust is not much power for more than two blades unless you want a slow cruise. Is any one running a similar set up? Any suggestions?

I just pulled an analog G-meter out, mostly because I was only using it to see how rotten my landings were. I plan to sell it and replace it with something more useful and the G-50 seems like the ideal thing, and will fit the hole.

Long time... I'm doing my annual and I should be finished about the time the snow melts and my airstrip is dry enough to use. After being down much of the winter it will be nice to get back in the air. Deke S5 NE Michigan [quote="lcfitt(at)sbcglobal.net"]Deke, I did the same, but don't have any ready suggestions.
