Ventalation. Will Labbing help?

I get some ventalation while coming on plane. Will lab finishing reduce this? Single engine deep V 4000lbs

A typical lab finished prop will make ventilation worse when getting on plane. Cup can be added to a lab finished prop to reduce the ventilation but the cup usually offsets some of the performance benefits on the top end.

Re: Ventalation. Will Labbing help?

ironman,i'm experiencing the same problem with a 26 lab bravo 1 on my condor 24/ 500hp .after 2500 slips instantly to 3300,i have to feather the throttle untill she hooks up. i need to upsize in prop to at least a 28p bravo or maybe a 5 blade p5, i dont think i will go with another labbed finish,not on this hull.
