My problem with long test period was high oil temps and a vibration at high RPM's, and the plane is 50 miles from home. I did a bunch of short flights, maybe 15 at no more than 30 minutes trying different mods to lower oil temps. I had pitched my prop for 5200 static. Some one suggested it might be too flat, so I repitched it for lower rpm. Still need to adjust, but I'm only getting 4800 at takeoff. However oil temps dropped dramatically, speed increased, and rate of climb increased. I'm seeing consistently 105 to 110 mph (no pants, but strut fairings), and 1100 fpm climb at density altitudes of 2100 common in summer here. But you know I have more fun cruising around the North Georgia mountains at 60. I plan on slowly changing pitch to see what happens. (by the way it is a warp drive tapered tip, I believe 72 in,) Ironically my DAR assigned me 25 hours. I questioned this, but he said I had an approved prop and engine combination.
