BTW, does anyone know how fast Tracy let his old prop turn?  What size is it?  Rusty?
 
Hi Dave,
 
According to Performance Props, Tracy's first prop was finalized at 68" D x 71" P.  According to Tracy, the max he turned was 6350 at 215 MPH.  I haven't made any full speed runs, but have turned it 5800 rpm at 8000 ft, and 196 mph TAS.  
 
Rusty
