20-60 calls per day, 1-2 dozen emails per day, multiple PM's, 4 web sites to maintain and over 100 props on the shelf. Fortunately I have a assistant in the office and a few good men in the propeller and machining / metal fab shop to help. However, I'm the only guy who answer the propping and set up tech questions and my typing has a 20% slip number. LOL

I'll try to do better!

What email was your? I'll get to it immediately.

Brett, you need to get one of those curved key boards, it will reduce your slip and give you a better top end and hole shot.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the chuckle....nice to see people have a sense of humour. My email was through your business web site, questions on the '03 powerquest 280 silencer with 496 ho, 24 and 26 pitch props. The other thing is the 26 is labbed and I think a little bit more bow lift is needed......how can this be done??:cool-smiley-027

Sorry for the delay.

I have a 17x27 4 blade for testing.

We can definately add bow lift to the Bravo 1. Adding rake via tip cup works quite well. It's a matter of the correct amount in the correct location per the application.

Thanks again for your paitence!

Brett
