Hi Bruce
Exactly right re: prop performance. Excellent climb but straight & level is
quite poor. I am sure that the Sensenich props are great. This must be
something basically wrong that I am missing. The paint shop put it on &
therefore I did not see how it was identified i.e. Is it really a 74x58?
Cannot believe that it is. There are too many happy REbel flyers out there
with this prop that it has to be some problem unique to my aircraft. The
plane itself is fine as it flew really well until I made the change.
I only made the change because of the problem with the Warp drive props on
0320 engines. My interest is having a decent cruise speed & to have no
worries re: the integrity of the prop. I had the speed but I also had
cracks - hence the change. I have no need to climb at 1700 fpm. I am at
circuit height before the end of the runway!
Your aircraft will be great. It is a great flyer & so much fun to handle in
the air.
As everyone says, keep building - you will love your aircraft.

Hi Bob,
I have not recieved any mail for a week. Something is amiss. I have tried to
resubscribe but no luck.
Brian, sorry to hear you are not happy. I have a Sensenich 7456 on my bird
but
have not flown it yet. Is it not as fast as your Warp Drive but it climbs
better?
