Also, as for MT prop being untested or something to that implication, MT has a lot better track record than domestic CS Prop manufactures. The MT prop is a lot better deal than adding a hollow crank and mechanical prop to an A4K.

I am trying to get your message across Gary. I think I have done it now. You had mentioned something about MT might allow the ontroller to be modified so that it will govern at 2700 RPM instead of 2500 RPM. Do you have anymore information about this?

The MT prop that Van's aircraft tested on an RV-8 not long ago was considerably slower than the new Hartzell blended airfoil prop and the Sensenich fixed pitch prop for that matter.

It is in the Fifth issue 2003 RVator. Page 6 tabulates the results. The slowest constant speed prop was 200.7 mph the fastest constant speed prop was 208.9 mph. I would not call 8.2 mph "considerable." Do you? Perhaps you have some other test data from Van's? They tested and compared only one parameter, Optimum Cruise speed defined as 75% power at 8000 feet for the O360 engine. They did not compare or test climb performance. However, from the incomplete climb rate data that was collected climb rate variations were on the order of 2 - 5%. Looking forward to trying out the MT on my Tiger.
