What'cha want to know? It's on now and RPM c= ame down maybe 200-400. I
can't be sure how much the prop contributed to the lowering RPM
beca= use I also found the idle stop screw was set wrong.

The prop is a Ca= tto, 3 blade composite. It's 68" by ?? pitch (can't
remember). In a= nother few of hours of ground running at lower RPM I'll
start to crank it up and let you know what happens.
