"Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... In addition, mountain flying is less dangerous. Ground speeds are still higher, and the prop can't convert the horsepower to quite as much thrust as it would at sea-level. But it's not nearly as much a reduction as I'd get without the turbocharger. Acceleration, even at max gross, is good as is the climb rate (handy when you are surrounded by high terrain  ).Actually a constant speed prop converts HP into thrust about the same at all (reasonable) altitudes. That is one of the great advantages of a CS prop. Mike MU-2
