Thanks Richard. Now I have to learn to fly that thing without making  
a merry widow of my wife :)
Last evening, after removing the turbo and making bunch of  
improvements including IVO electric 68" prop, I loaded the minister  
of finance  (she ordered me ) and went to make three high speed taxis  
with the new prop. What a kick in the back! These props make big  
difference on take off by allowing you to develop high rpm from the  
start. Since I ordered this prop for my turbo installation, I'm a bit  
low on the rpm. Will try it by converting the same prop (68" with  
pitch 45-105 range)  to two blade. My prop calculator http:// 
www.hoverhawk.com/propspd.html  tells me for best thrust I must spin  
the engine at least to 6500 - 7000 rpm. I'm about 1000 rpm short  
right now. I was surprised to see my manifold pressure go past 30". i  
did not understand why my TAS stays at 18 when the plane is not  
moving, but goes up with the forward speed? I was expecting to see it  
at zero?.
