REFLECTOR: Ordered Propeller

[Ronnie Brown]

I really don't think there would be a problem with mounting a 200 HP prop on
a IO540 as long as you keep the rpms below 2700.  The static RPMS would help
Craig as would the airspeed produced at 2700 rpm.  The prop is designed for
200 HP (or more - Craig actually rates his props at 3100 rpm max) and as
long you're not exceeding the 2700 rpms, shouldn't be a problem.

Love my Catto prop!!!
