Those who operate the Warp drive taper tip props or have experience with them were exactly right and ignoring static RPM was clearly the way to go. I ended up with a very nice smoooth prop after reducing pitch significantly. It is now pitched to allow 6200 rpm in full throttle climb at 0 deg temp. I expect we will have to revisit this when it warms up. The engine will overspeed quite easily on the ground until speed builds. I have spoken to a few others with the same type of prop and their expereince is similar. Thanks to those who offered asistance, it would have taken somewhat longer to get it right without it. I still have the GSC but it requires a full service.
