I'm using fixed pitch sesenich prop. It is actually a cruise prop, 78 inch pitch rather than Van's reccomended 77 inch pitch. The actual performance testing has not been done yet, but I can lift off and climb out, indicating 90 mph and climbing at 800 fpm. At max power I can eak out a 190 mph and at 50 % power about 160.
