Hi Kelly;
   Yes, those are the new blades. They are also only 70" while my old ones were 76". So I could have mowed the lawn out there with the old ones.

Todd,
    Does your "IVO" prop have the new "High Pitch" (45-105) blades installed in these videos ??

Did a little tuning. It's still not perfect. Using autotune on the EC2 seems to be going a little too lean, but adding some with the mixture control and it's pretty damn good. Still a little room for improvement. It does run so well with no tuning at all that for now I won't copy A controller to B controller, but instead will leave everything on B side with Tracey's stock programming.
  So I did another short video and since the camera was rolling I thought I'd try to taxi right past. Didn't work so well. A couple of years ago I had to dig up the septic tank. Apparently not as firm as I'd expected it was. But the nosewheel found the soft spot! So you get to hear it at 5 psi of boost. It was easy enough to turn it around by hand and go back the way I came in.
   I really need to get it up to the airport!
