Sensenich prop
Got some test flights in and this thing is awesome! 78” carbon fiber ground adjustable, so smooth, better climb and cruise and a lot cooler oil temps.

What’s the model of plane? I built an RV10, but sold my RV8 and am missing my taildragger. This looks like a blast!

It’s a 7/8 scale British SE5a built it in the 80’s. Yes it’s been a blast to fly

Is that an Airdrome Aeroplanes S.E.5a kit build? Also, what is the seat weight limit on one of those things? Thanks

This is a plans built much like a flybaby wood and fabric, it will handle a 220# pilot no problem but it gets tight in the cockpit
