John, unfortunately, the SO rules limit to a commercial plastic prop, so
we're stuck with the Ikara or a scraped down "normal" type plastic
one. I've commented about this for several years, but haven't gotten
any results. FWIW, my student are using scraped plastics, the Ikaras
are (IMHO) not well designed and are very fragile, also have a not too
good hub assy.

I agree, do a lot of trimming flights with very minute changes in wing
or stab incidence before repitching and if you have a rubber stripper
try changing rubber sizes.

Wonder, what model are you using, a commercial or homebrew ? And what
is the weight ?
