Glad it's performing well for you. I'm surprised it's not more popular. Guess I'm not constantly blogging like others so I'm not in the light as much. As far as the prop goes, even though I like pitch blocks I never use them for LPP. Because we are stuck with a smaller diameter, I've found cylindrical forms work best. Try a 4" form. BTW my plane hit an obstruction 30' up and slid down to the floor on my record flight w 300 turns left. It would have done well over 20 mins !!!
