The Porkopolis Flying Pig was powered by a (somewhat tired) Continental A65 with a Warp Drive, 58” tapered blade prop, set at about 20 degrees, if I recall and max engine rpm of 2540. I kept tweaking the angle about .5 degrees at a time until I got the best top speed which was about 137 kts. .5 degrees lower, rpm was higher and speed was lower. .5 degrees higher, rpm was lower and speed was lower. Pretty efficient leaned out at 90 kts, 1.8 GPH.
The Pig and I saw quite a bit of the Eastern U.S in over 500 hours, but I have lost contact now.
