I am running an A-65 with a Hegy 72 X 44 prop. I get about 78-80 mph at cruise
and climb about 350 fpm with me and full fuel on an 80 deg day. Not in any hurry,
but I'm kinda looking for a 72 X 42 prop. The airplane seems to like the
70-75 mph range a little better so I wouldn't mind giving up the cruise for
a little better climb. I'd really like a Falcon prop, so until I find someone
who will let go of one, the Hegy will do.

Hello,
I have the long fuselage with the split axle steel gear with 19" spoked wheels.
This makes it taller than some. Luckily I have really long legs( 36" inseam
). This makes for about a 15 deg angle in the three-point. 11 to 15 degrees
is quite a difference between airplanes that are basically the same. Yet all
the flyers seem to describe similar landing characteristics. Mr. Pietenpol used
different wheels and landing gears and from what I could find never really
advised against one combination. It just shows the docile nature of the airplane
and the adaptability of using what is/was available.

I am using a Tennessee 72 X 42 recommended by many and Tennessee props
said it was the one most used on this type of aircraft.It is a real work
of art and I get a lot of guddos for it!I havn't flown with it yet but
from what most say about it I should get the same good performance.
