"aluckyguess" wrote in message ... How many knots would be gained with this? Hi Lucky, Congrats on the license! Think of a CS propeller as an overdrive. Simply, it's purpose is to lower the fuel consumption by taking a bigger bite of air in cruise. You basically get the same cruise speed for less rpms. Properly used, a CS prop also helps to maximize engine life. Improper or misuse of a CS prop can render even a new airplane to glider status quickly,especially turbo equipped aircraft. There are other benefits and caveats, you will learn them if you go for a complex endorsement. HTH, Marty
