So I've got her rigged as low wing tail dragged with flaps now...have fixed the bad tail wheel adjustment I was fighting, and adjusted the other control surfaces to neutral to help with my trim issues. Have also programmed in some flap/elevator mix at half and full flaps and look forward to seeing how that helps reduce the need to retrim in flight in different configurations. Hoping the weather breaks this weekend to try her out. All that said, I'm wondering about other propellers that people may be using with the stock motor. Any two bladed props out there that are treating you guys right? I've got a bunch from my nitros, but they won't fit the hub and are probably too heavy anyways. Any suggestions?

Re: Alternate props for Pandora?
Hub size is a problem; MAS props tend to have large ones. I have a 3-blade EMP 11x8.6 fitted, and it gets a bit more speed and power. I only had to do a little cutting on the spinner to make it fit. Be aware, though, that you'll probably have to put a higher current ESC in, as any prop that makes more speed and power increases the current draw. The stock prop draws very near 30 Amps, and my EMP prop is pulling about 38 Amps, which will smoke the stock 30 Amp ESC.
I haven't tried any 2-blade props, because one would have to go up to 12", and I like the ground clearance the 11" gives.
