Sure, although I may not be able to find my actual flying notes from 2008 (give me a few days.) I usually only write things down after a great flight, or where I try something different that works. Otherwise, I would be writing all day instead of flying.

For the 2008 17.6" prop, motor was 8.4". Turns count I don't exactly recall, but with F1d back then I was always trying to launch at what I thought was maximum turns, or .51 in-oz, whichever came first. Today I may back off to around .42 in/oz, which can happen with only 3 or 4 turns back off, or may just spontaneously drop. (5/99 rubber.) Turns remaining was about 10 IIRC, but I've had a couple 27s with up to 175 turns remaining. I'm happy with anything less than about 100 remaining. But of course, 0 would be a good number, too.
