Jeez!! Is that for real?? Why would anyone want a prop with
restrictions like that on it?? I never dreamed it was that
bad. Looks like the only rpm you can operate at is 2600. No
higher, no lower (unless you can figure out something to do at
2200). And you have to bust through all that restriction to get
to your only allowable rpm.
WOW .... Jim S.

I really don't think they/we know for sure. I am again developing
a separation between the SS leading edge, and the wood blade even though
I have been very cautious about not operating in the supposed 2250-2550
and above 2650 rpm restricted range posted by mt. This was visible
after 10hrs of operation. Needless to say, I am keeping a close eye
out for any radial cracking of the SS leading edge as before. TEC</blockquote>
