I'll keep you guys posted.  I will not install it for a week or so.  I have some other flight testing to do first.  One data point to deal with first.  
The prop is also adjustable up to one degree on the flat stop. In either direction. If your performance isn't just right.  Once you have it nailed in you drill a hole in the shaft and install a roll pin through the drilled lock nut. 
My feed back from Jayson was great. He always returned my calls.  Kept me up to date either through email or phone calls.  Because my prop was a first for the large engine Velos it took a little longer then most. He did a lot of extra testing. I was in no hurry so I let him do his thing.
