Well, Really preliminary but yes...
Unpainted and running super rich to keep the cylinders cool, @ 2500/25, I'm seeing 170KTAS @ 3500 ft MSL
and Stall Break (Full fuel, two people) is @ 50KIAS, Both power off-full flaps, and power on-no flaps.... Feels like you could hang the thing on the prop before it breaks...
Power off, half flaps breaks @ 53KIAS

Congratulations John! I'm very jealous!

Glad to hear the EFII worked out so well. Anything you'd change about your install or settings? What led you to the Catto prop vs the Hartzel? That decision point is still out in the future for me but interested in your findings!

Default prop

I think he is using an MT prop, not a Catto...
