           Hi:

           I used an 11-3 wooden prop on my BG HP .40 piston and cylinder.  Remember to run it fast and wet.  Do not run it cold.  Did you receive Instructions with your p&c? 

           Mr. Gardner made it very clear to me, do not use any castor oil in his p&c!  He suggested 20% synthetic and no nitro! Thus far, my engine has run perfectly and still makes a very loud noise when passing over tdc. 

          For information, e mail Mr. Gardner as he give you the straight scoop re his products.  He is a good person.

                                                                                                               Good luck,

                                                                                                               Frank McCune

Anything that a little lighter load than your flight prop 10-4 or 9-6 is good. 10/22 is just fine. You want it running in a two stroke but breaking 4 stroke every few seconds.

Golly, I didn't realize Motorman had a Brian Gardner ABC OS .46LA. I'm interested in your findings, Motorman!  D>K Steve

Pick one with no blood on  it.
