Prop Pitch

Is there anyone on this list with a flying 701 with a Rotax 912UL (80HP) 
and a warp drive three blade prop?  What pitch (measured at the tips) do 
you have on the prop and what kind of climb and cruise are you seeing? 
With me (230 lbs), my BRS chute and full tanks I am about 50 lbs shy of 
gross and am seeing 500 fpm climb and 75 mph cruise at about 5400 rpm.  Is 
this normal performance?  I only have about 5 degrees pitch on the prop 
which gives me 5650 rpm with full throttle in straight and level flight at 
about 2000 MSL.
