ASP 180 FS Prop Versus Model

After speaking with Kevin on Thursday regarding unable to get above 6800 rpm, engine maybe loaded too much on the Super Chipmunk I removed the lovely Biela 18x8 (a wide bladed prop) and looked for something a bit less than a hurricane mover.. Delving into my prop store I found a 17x6 APC prop for IMAC/Aerobatics. Um! Well fitted it and fired the 180 up. I noticed instantly what a difference it made. Transitions straight up to 8000 rpm with no problem and flattened the wife's daffodils parked behind. So, fine tuning was suspended... :lol: Happy man. Gotta wait for another suitable day to try it out.

Thanks Kevin. I was tempted to pull the 180 out and drop in a DLE35RA. Saved me some expense and downtime.
