On Verbitski's first flight with the geared prop.

The high acceleration initially and the slowdown later on in the climb
indicates too small a pitch in the prop. Ground rpm is little indication of
climb height. As with any new F1C (or F1B), finding prop diameter, chord and
pitch has to be done with many tests.

Maybe Eugene needs a laser height finder.
