Everyone, I'd just like to take a second to thank everyone for the OUTSTANDING advice and support about transitioning into an S1C. You all really made it a no brainer. Now for the next question:


With an O290G, and a pitts in stellar condition, what are the performance limitations gyroscopically with a wooden propellor? I know by the book tumbles without a solid crank are a no-no, but are the possible with the wooden prop eating some of the vibrations? If not so be it, I just want to be well read on the do's and don'ts of the bird. I recognize that I won't be flying unlimited in this airplane, but lets talk hypotheticals here? All advice welcome, I'll be the first to admit i'm new at this. Looking forward to everyones input, thanks all in advance!
