Most of the time, if the prop is going to load up, it does it on take off roll but I did have it happen once at about 200 feet on climb out. In that case, 1/2 degree was all it took to correct the problem. But your are right, the original Perry props were sometimes not correct or mismatched to the gear box. In this case, he is using a Culver prop, but again, it may not be right. I have always liked the GSC adjustable for the 582. It provided a way to adjust for winter and summer to get peak performance.
