Sounds like your prop is set a tad too fine I don't think I'd change it as you might like to have the extra revs for the occasional times you are at gross. Depends on the prop Noel. Kitfoxes switched from a 66 to 68 3 blade GSC and i have found that setting the 68" at 6200 ish static will give you about 6800 WOT with a 3 to 1 box. To get 6400 WOT your static would likely be less than 5800 and you would suffer take off performance. Now my WARP 68" 3 blade is a Wide tip with a bit more bite and I am 6000 static and 6700 WOT with it . And your EGTs wll be affected with each prop adjustment as well at outside Climate and temps. It all a game of tweaking, optimizing and compromising your prop but once set it makes the Kitfox not just a great STOL performer but a joy to fly. -------- Rotax Dealer, Ontario Canada Flying Videos and Kitfox Info http://www.cfisher.com/ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=145692#145692 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:32:29 PM PST US From: "steve eccles" Subject: Kitfox-List: Kitfox Biplane I hate to bust in and change the subject BUT does anyone have a picture of the Kitfox biplane that they could either post or e-mail me .
