Climb Prop Basics
Posted: Fri May 17, 2013 8:12 pm
Just this week had my prop re-pitched to climb specs. o-300a/7651. I'm headed west from the southeastern flatlands. Did this last year, about now, and was underwhelmed by my 7655's performance. Actually, for that prop, we did quite well, but it was far too exciting for my taste. So, I thot I'd ask you more experienced sticks for some of your lessons-learned, if you have any you'd like to share. Such as...
Did you find that the higher rpm's had a tendency to cause cht concerns?
How high were you able to climb at max gross?
Anything I should think about re rpm management, realizing the rpm will rise into the yellow, or even red, quicker, easier( other than - don't let it)?
Is 2450 still our best normal cruise rpm?
Anything else you folks can think of? Thanks a bunch ahead of time. Drew
