Mel Legacy Member Mentor Jul 4, 2014 #2 That doesn't seem too low to me. It will wind up considerably in flight.
ratc Well Known Member Jul 4, 2014 #3 Catto Propeller ? 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.
