Wood prop on o235

[schauber]

Does anyone have performance on 118 hp rv9a?
I have an Ed Sterba 68x66 prop
8000 ft 2400 rpm 64 % 134 kts 5.8 gph at +8 C
8000 ft 2300 rpm 58 % 130 kts 4.7 gph

Bob, We are running the Sterba prop on an O-360 and it is an absolutely incredible prop for the money!

I can't tell if you want to change your prop or not by the way you phrased your comment. Personally, I would keep the Sterba. He will repitch it for you on request.

BTW, 407 GPH at 2300 rpm sounds a little high. Perhaps you have a leak?

Sorry that was a typo should be 4.7 not 407

O-235

I have 2 blade Catto prop (can't recall the specs) and it meets vans performance specs. About 1000 FPM climb and 150K at full throttle.
