This is a data point for the few people running leading edge tape on Catto props. I removed the thin leading edge tape that Catto provides and saw a 5-7kts increase in speed@2500 rpm. I confirmed the speed increase over several flights in various atmospheric conditions. I now average 163-165ktas @8000ft & 2500 rpm where I used to average 158-160ktas. I didn't test my top end because I can already exceed Vne.
