Here's a better shot of the old girl. Got a big hook in my rocker, so I'm going to take her to Allison and have the bottom blueprinted. Hopefully she'll fly right then.
Any Other GT/SS-20 Owners Out There?

Took the ole SS20 out for a little leaf looking today and figured out how to drive it through that rocker problem that was holding me to about 62. Found the sweet spot on the trim and kept nailing it at about 55 until I figured it out.
I could feel that rocker break loose, then she jumped on up where she needed to be. Was running a POS 3 blade Trophy over the hub 24 but saw 82 on GPS before I backed off. With that, I'm thinking 90 isn't out of reach with the right prop and a little more tweaking on the setup.
My tach is goofy (have a new one I haven't installed yet), and I didn't want to chance winding her out in the event the rev limiter has been played with. Still gonna take it to Darris and have the bottom blueprinted, but it felt good getting her into the 80's. Here's a shot at 55.
