Jim said: I ned a new prop 60 x 65 or more pitch Jim are you sure you need more pitch? Is your climb rate really good, and you are over rpm at cruise? I ask because I read an article/post not long ago by someone, possibly a netter that made some very good points about improper prop evaluation due to low performance. This post/article talked about how it seems more pitch is always recommended, but not always correct. Sometimes to get the performance desired, less pitch, and possibly even more or less length is needed. If the disc area is too great for the engine to spin up, than low rpm will result. If too high a static rpm, and cruise rpm is being seen, then typically a longer prop same pitch or same length and more pitch is the answer. Check multiple sources. Netters talk about Ed Sturba; Valley Engineering/Culver Props is another; Mark L. and others have had great success with Sensenich (though they are pricey). It never hurts to check Ebay either. I got a good prop from another builder there, and was very happy with it. Best of all the price was great!
