Propping my Allison Arafura 4.95

[GLXMAN]

Hi Guys,
had the Allison for a few years now,
Has always been a pain to try and get up on the plane (Poetry not intended! )
I changed the location where I usually get it serviced and spoke to them about the problem and
they suggested a Mercury Spitfire 4 blade with the same pitch, (13 inch) would do the job
The old prop was a standard 3 blade, I think they called it a Black Max?
All was powered by a 60HP Mercury 4s

Wow! The difference was incredible,
same top end revs
same top speed
got on the plane in a couple of seconds
acceleration was amazing

Couldn't pony up for a Solas at the time, at least I have some history for them when I do
