> this is great cruise prop I know prop numbers don't exactly correspond between differing manufacturers but it's hard to imagine someone's numbers are so far off that 48" pitch would be considered a good cruise prop. The Sterba 52 x 52 I just sent back to Ed for refinshing will turn a 2180 at 3550 RPM WOT. That's hardly cruise. I'd think with a 52 x 48 you'd be turning that same engine somewhere near 4000 RPM. That would be excellent for getting out of a 300 foot grass strip with trees at the end, but not so good for going anywhere.
