Yep! Even though you keep mentioning it, I am
so tuned to fix pitch prop in my thinking - the other type is almost
incomprehensible {:>)

Ed,
My initial statement of reaching 7k rpm may have been a meaningless as
I have a C/S prop. So, I could set it to max fine pitch and probably
reach 7k rpm with a weed-eater engine. However, these numbers were
with the prop set at 2200, IIRC. I know there is a discrepancy between the
M/T indicator and the EM-2 readout. Maybe I should loosen the set screw on
the M/T controller knob and move it so that the M/T setting = EM-2 RPM /
2.85. This is assuming that the M/T is the The prop is close to being due
for a mandatory overhaul, so I'll have them check it at that time, and
re-calibrate the knob.
