Just for the heck of it I was taking a look at the prop selector for my situation. Buying an expensive high end prop really didn't give me any performance gain over my stock prop but I did run across this which looks pretty darn interesting for $275.

I ran ours today, and surprisingly; got higher rpms than previously. Perhaps running the 89 octane ethanol free gas, plus Pri-G fuel stabilizer/cleaner, cleaned things out a bit.

Anyway, I saw 5700 rpm for the first time, and was getting to 5500 easily, so no new prop needed.

The one I have is a 14 X 11.
