[Laurence Coen]

Rene',

The 2700 RPM is the engine red line and should not be exceeded.

  Mounted and flew AeroComposite prop 2.5 hrs of 5 hr fly off this weekend. 
Gained 300 fmp climb at 25 squared and 8 knts in 23/23 cruise from 172 knts 
indicated to 180 knots IAS without the spinner on.  Workmanship is beautiful 
but mounting hardware for spinner is now over a week late in delivery.  It 
was left out of the shipping container with the spinner.   Prop was two 
months later than promised but it does look and work very well.

  Question:  The AeroComposite has a rpm limit of 3000 and an overspeed 
limit of about 4000.  I was thinking of increasing my engine rpms up from 
the 2700 of the MT to 2800 or even 3000.  That is still very low rpms and 
should get better climb out on take off.  Thoughts?
