I have mine set to 2 650 RPM on takeoff and that gives me more than adequate power. Full thrott le it turns 3150. If you look at the Jab 3300 power curves you do not get a great deal of power increase after about 3100 RPM. The only quirk in its operation is at low idle RPM where=2C due to its low rotational mass you c an feel the individual power pulses as slightly rough running. At cruise R PM it is as smooth as a turbine.

Best compromise I could get was 2700 on take off, 2850 on climb at 85 Knts, 3150 WOT. This gave 110 Knt (IAS) cruise at 2850. Each adjustment mark is 4 degrees (or 12 inches geometric pitch). Adjustments of 1/2 degree were probably too much, needed to use 1/4 degree to tweak it just right. A digit protractor helps!! Sounds like you need to fine it up a fraction Geoff On 07/05/2013, at 1:26 PM, GARY BARNETT wrote: > Chuck > I have one on my Lightning SN 133 It works well.
