Hello everyone!

I am trying to figure if the prop Hartzell model HC-C2YR-1BF / F8468A-4 can fit RV10 with IO-540 and be okay for 2700rpm ?

From what I understand VANs recommends to use Hartzell prop model: HC-C2YR-1BFD / F8068D.
First part of is just a model, the last part is the blade configuration.
It looks like the recommended blade length should be 80 inches and pitch 68.
Now the one I found is F8468A-4 so the blade length is 84 inches but the number 4 after dash at the end means that the blades were shortened by 4 inches what makes them 80 inches long.
Has anyone ever used this model HC-C2YR-1BF / F8468A-4 with IO-540? My only concern is max RPMs.

Thank you
Vlad

I contacted with Hartzell and it looks like the prop is all good with minor pitch stop adjustments for 2700 rpm.
