I have a Catto 66x78 three blade on my IO-360-A3B6D. I love it.

Mark
Your Io360 a3b6 is 200 hp angle valve?
Could you give me some numbers about your prop?

Many thanks in advance

Yes, it is a 200 hp angle valve. It is the (stupid) model that Mooney's have with both mags inside of a single housing being driven off of one gear.

I get 2200 RPM static, but climb at 1600-2000 feet per minute solo (depends upon the time of year). I comfortably cruise at 160-165 kts (295 to 305 kmh) burning about 33L per hour.

At 2700 RPM, 4000', I get 191 kts (353 kmh).

The prop itself makes the engine VERY smooth and, because it is only 66" diameter, there is a LOT of ground clearance.

Hope this helps
