Thanks Dan. Pouring down rain today but I will definitely look at that. Did not seem to have slipping last flight so I am encouraged. Finding the right prop pitch seems key.

Hi Dane,
I had the same problem with mine also. Turned out that the crank pulley was too short by.060". Check the idler pulley arm to see if it had rubbed on the prop pulley.
