this was talked about but do wooden props need to be indexed as well? I've

before.

Just wondering if you guys with the 2100 are cruising at more than the
recommended 3200 rpm's??? I hear lots of talk on the net about running at
wide open throttle.My cruise of 140 is based on 3200
rpm's.---Just curious.

With 6.5 gal fuel in the header tank ( max is 13 gal ) and a passenger, my
2S is 2" forward of the rear most CG, and I can tell you that it's a handful
on take off, the tail drops noticeably. To counter this I increase my take
off speed to 70 mph or top off the fuel tank.
Your results may vary.
The problem with these things is that everything you do changes the
CG-including leaning forward. Somebody needs to invent a sliding
counter weight. ( just kidding)

The long and short of this glue thing is that T-88 is proven to be the best
product available for this application. It has years of KR's behind it, if
it ain't broke ???
