Thanks for your reply. I have only had good reports on the MaxProp and am leaning in that direction. Autoprop also looks good but is more expensive and I don't think there is much difference between them for the extra money.
A friend has and Alpha in my garage restoring it along side my Mini Cooper which is raced with the SCCA.
Thanks again
David
