I use a labbed 24P B1 99% of the time with the 23P M+ as a spare. The B1 is at Bblades now getting re-worked. I agree the M+ is not even close to the right prop which is why it is just a spare. As long as the other uprades pan out this winter the 23P will truely be useless and it will be yours and I'll get some new spares.

It is 3" currently at the nose cone.

It is 3" and I think too high....It needs to be at 4".

I should be in the 560-570 HP range with upgrades and really don't want anymore than that due to the Bravo 1X limitations. If I could get upper 70's with that set-up I'd be happy. 80 I believe is out of the question with just 560HP.
