Hi Kelly,
I am getting right at 6000 rpm on static runup.
Perhaps 6150 on a cold day.
My prop is now 74x88, I had 2" taken off the dia
(76") of prop bringing the static up from 5800 to 6000 and making it a
bit less hairly on take off. Even now if I go to WOTat start of
take off roll, I still do not have sufficient rudder authority to hold
nose down the runway- takes a touch of the brake as well. If I feed in the
power a bit slower and permit airspeed to get up to around 40 mph then I can
shove in full throttle and hold it with rudder along. So the 2.85 and
monster prop has certainly increased the take off performance.

Tracy, Ed and Rusty,
I know it has been posted before but I am too
lazy to look it up !! What
static rpm are you getting with the 2.85 redrive and your Monster props
