That is the horsepower limiter! What is wrong with having some extra power with no extra weight? When=20 you operate from those high altitude lakes, you can have the same hp you have at sea level. In the old days they=20 had gated throttles for different altitudes and other reasons, like hot days etc. Fit the prop you want, spin it at the rpm you want ------that is all=20 there is to it I think you see a problem that does not exist, TJ is right on the=20 money, build it --- just don't plan to use it :) BR, Dave McC
