REFLECTOR: Fixed pitch propeller

[gibbons]

Well I'm not that satisfied with it. I'm a RG but keep gear down. It
good for climbing but top end is slow. Full throttle 2640 at 6100'
Alt. 6100,FF 16.3, MP 23.2, RPM 2640, O/S temp 76f, AS 162k
Alt  6500,FF 16.4, MP 20.6, RPM 2440, O/S temp 76f, AS 145k 
Alt  7500,FF 11.7, MP 20.2, RPM 2320, O/S temp 75f, AS 135k

Static 2260 @78f elevation 2340

If you have been watching  you would have seen that I had been flying
the 
Vesta prop.  The first one I didn't like.  They are building me new
blades. 
A copy of the AeroComp stile blades.  Should have had them last week.
Still 
not this week.  Will let you know how they work.  I have a extra MT prop
for 
a IO-540 160. I plan on selling it with my plane later this year. Dave
