What is your impression of the prop tip + repitching mod (especially
with the 160hp stc, which I already have).
My prop is pitched to about 60" (Art claimed it was just shy of 60). As a result,
the static RPM stayed near the low end, but climb still improved as well as cruise.
I'm not really sure if the prop tip mod did anything.
Out of curiousity, what type of real-world numbers are you seeing from
your bird?
About 130-135 mph (113-117 knots) at 2500RPM and 2000'. All the mods together
showed a definite cumulitive effect, but in reality, it's hard to attribute
specific numbers to one particular item.
