Guys, we're getting some concerns raised about the safety of the MAS 9x4 props on the Webras. The manufacturer's recommended max rpm is 17.7K (160,000/9). We will have a supply of APC 9x3 props at the NATS for purchase at below retail prices ($2 each). The George Cleveland props are rated at 25K, and the APCs are 21.1 (190,000/9).
<b><font color="red">7/6/05 Update: We have clearance from Windsor to run the MAS 9x4 props to 19.5K. Please see the Soapbox for details</font id="red"></b>

Well ive got one of those [:D], thanks for the idea Scott.
Of course in our thin AIR I will stick with the APC.
I found that it pulls better in the turns. The Webra doesnt sound likes its taching up . But the performance is with testing.
By the way Scott did you have too change anything on your birds once you got back home?
My birds I had too turn down the elevator throws. 1500 ft in elevatation, makes a differencs.
Just wondering.

Pathous, good too hear that.
Well its 4 weeks and counting down till the Dogfight over Aurora.
I should have enough time too put 3 NEW Avengers together 964.
And get 1 tuned with the Webra again. Will be testing a NEW Webra on a Go Devil tomorrow, if it fly's well. We should be able too do some tach testing with different props. And see which pulls better.
