REFLECTOR: Goose Repair Update (Engine Run)

[Laurence Coen]

Brian,

My Franklin IVO with 2 washers turns 2420 and 2500 with one washer.  I'm 
running one washer currently which requires that I get on the pitch control 
right after lift-off to prevent over speed.  Next time I service the prop 
I'm going back to two washers.  John, didn't you trim 1" off the ends of 
your blades?
