I'm using several different modified Ikara props. Best times have been
just under 4 minutes with some bouncing around. A no-touch flight with
about 20' of max altitude landed at 3:03 - all on 2/99 rubber.
On 11/13 TSS rubber I had a best time of 3:27 with the cruise starting
at about 15' altitude after a bad hit.
