[C320-list] Gori Prop Installation

[Pat Moriarty]

All we can do is tell everyone that if you get a 2 blade ignore Gori 
and get one pitch less. If you are slightly under pitched you can 
just back off the gas but I feel that a 9 would be much closer than a 
10 pitch. Did they give you all the BS about shaft too far past the 
strut, shaft bent, motor not up to par, blah blah blah. Nice prop and 
sure added speed at low wind speeds. I think they are figuring that 
we all have stripped 320 racers and I have a loaded cruiser that beer 
can races.
