REFLECTOR: Does anybody know of a Std Velocity with a IO-540?

[Brett Ferrell]

Cato makes great props, but it seems that many folks with the 540
eventually answer the siren call for a CS prop.  We flew ours (XL) with
the Catto for a couple of years, and it performed well, but we got
tired of worrying about flying our more portly friends on hot summer
days.  Climb was good, as was top speed, but the acceleration is night
and day.  Sometimes that's a big deal, sometimes not.  Just something
to think about.

than a IO-360, but I would think that with a CATO propeller on a
IO-540,

this would be a good overall performer.   Any comments?
