Default Hartzell C/S prop!

I have used my WW GA200 prop for almost 100hrs and it was working just fine. I got a great deal on a 0hr overhauled Hartzell and got it and aquired all the other parts as well.
I have a 160hp 0-320 in my 7A.
I flew it for the first time yesterday and it was a wonderful experience. Take off run was about half of what I had before and climb was probably 50-70% better. Climb angle as well.
Cruise was similar, perhaps 1-2 faster than before at 165-166ktas, 23.9"/2530rpm (75%) at 8500ft DA.
Many thanks to Pete Hunt for the Woodward Governor!

Now I will put my Whirlwind GA200 up for sale. Great prop!

Glad it worked out so well! When your phase 1 is complete, I'd love to go up with you.
