Jim, I have a Sterba 56x64 wood prop. I have not flown yet so I can not give you any actual performance on this prop. Also, I have absolutely no Soob experience. Find yourself a GPS and check your airspeed with that against your instrument. Why did you have moments of second thoughts on take off? What was your take off roll? What prop are you using? What is the weight of your plane?
