That doesn't seem too low to me. It will wind up considerably in flight.

Dan,

Is this the two blade "New Gen." with stainless leading edge?

If so, I'm watching with interest since this is the weapon of choice for my similarly equipped RV-4.

Did you request a cruise prop from Craig ?

Please keep the information flowing.

I get 2150 static with my 66x78 three blade with an IO-360. I get 2750 at 190kts.

I think you're good.

i forgot to mention it's a 3 bladed prop

That Catto prop builds speed very fast once you get going. Your static rpm is right where it is supposed to be.
