Thanks Steve, that was basically the maiden voyage for the 1.39's & Tunnel Tab.

Switching back to the 1.50's, acceleration was superior to the 1.39's. I could have gotten some of it back w/ the props but once I cut on them I own them & I was pretty sure I would return to the 1.50's so I just ran stock 5 blade 37 SCL's

Heck I might have been able to hold Albert off another 45 secs or so w/ the 1.50.

I want to believe Ben set the Tab up to have a range of 30deg travel. The rams extend less than 4". From max UP to eliminating the hop is barely 2.5-3 L.E.D. lights on my indicators. Ben estimates that 15deg of Tab is what it takes to eliminate the hop.

I saw that & removed it. The editing subscription I have is on my home computer & the free one I uploaded today converts the video where Media Player doesn't recognize it. Too much effort for me today!

Approx 5900rpm (as accurate as the gauges read) 3/4 fuel 5 on board.

Having a better idea of the GoPro's field of view now, I know I can get some better video next time that includes the GPS / Tachs.

So where is the sweet spot to run these 710s? The set I put in my Fountain is turning 6100 - 6200 running with the same props that I had on it with the 625's that were turning 5750. Should I step up a pitch and bring it down to 5900?
