Hi Jack,   That would do nicely,  I've used a lot of M-tronics gear, never had any problems. :-))

I have a Lotse, about the same size, probably a very similar configuration.  A standard 380 running at near its max voltage using a 2 blade 25mm prop was very satisfactory.  Running that type of motor on a little over half its max voltage will result in gentlemanly performance.
