I've referenced this before.... but Catto was a major positive presence in the ultralight scene back in the early 80s. Sounds like he has continued to do good!

Ya, Craig is a good guy!

Yup tentatively planning on getting there sunday so i can get in early.

You camping there?

Blu

Yeah, flying in the Diamond DA40. Look for me in N480JP. Camping next to the plane. I don't get in until Thursday morning, though. Too much going on at work to take the whole week off.

Well final update on the prop.

I got to fly side by side with a buddy in a carbon cub optioned almost exactly like mine except for the prop.

he has the original 78" 55 degree more of a cruiser than the 78" 54 i had from the factory.

Anyway in cruise at the same airspeed i was turning about 100 rpm less (2000 vs 2100)

We then went to full throttle climb and i out climbed him by maybe 10% ? after about a minute we quit as i was ahead and higher by 50'-75'

so i feel like it was a good move in the end, although more for the quiet and smooth than the preformance.
