OK I checked my prop and here’s the
numbers. Note: I gave Catto the following parameters:
HP 185-200
Cruise RPM 2760
What he recommended and I purchased: 64” Dia.
76” Pitch, Red Line 3100.
Joe, funny you should
mention. I was just about to call Catto and order up a prop. May as
well wait for a few more details from yours. How was your experience with
Catto? How long was the lead time. What was the final pitch you
settled on?
With my new engine I need
a little more pitch if I am truly going to be the fastest kid on the
block. Either that or the ability to turn the prop a little faster...
hmmm

I’ll try to remember to check the
pitch tonight and report back. Catto
is good to work with but he’s also a popular guy, so his lead time is out
there (and you may want to pad his estimate a month or two just so you
aren’t disappointed).
