Ran the mirage+ on sunday. Was not real impressed with the results!

It ran 4850rpm @ 68mph. The prop was not labbed like the seller said it was. It looks to have been tuned and/or repaired by d.a.h. at some point...but not labbed. It's just a little to much prop and the prop blow out was horrible!

I ran a 22 pitch bravo1 4 blade and ran 5650rpm @ 70mph. There was no blow out and better mid range.

According to the numbers I'm seeing, I'm wondering if a 24 pitch bravo1 4 blade would be a better choice at this point?

Please let us know how that prop works out. I did some similar upgrades this winter and was really hoping to need/buy that prop you're getting, but am just getting mine wet this weekend. I;m guessing it's going to be just what you were looing for.
