It is a Sensenich fixed metal (no RPM limitations). The final thing (internal engine
component balancing) had the engine over reving the factory recommended
limits so I had it repitched. I would have to look it up but I know it is 1" less
than maximum allowable (they will know). If I had to do it again I would go
to the max. When it comes time to replace the cylinders I will probably go with
flow matched which could conceivably move the RPM up again. Climb RPM went
down to 2300 max but the climb rate hasn't seemed to change. Launch is slower
but unless you operate from 1000' strips it shouldn't be a factor.

My -4?has a stock 0-360 with a fixed (max cruise pitch) and a large auto battery
up front. It flies fine solo with full tanks but is still real easy to load
to max aft CG unless careful. There was a time when I thought a 200hp would be
nice but over the years of cleaning things up, tuning,?and adjusting rigging
etc it pushes the envelope already. Sometimes indicate 220mph S&L on low density
altitude days. Still climbs at 3000fpm+ solo and sometimes see 4000 on half
tanks. BTW, I bought the plane used about 12 years ago with the 0-360 and wood
prop. It was a pig back then and was lucky to see 185mph.
