Re: Prop Me Up

I saw the Sensenich ground adjustable prop at Osh and thought it would be a great fit on my sons O-200 Citabria experimental. But he's too cheap too upgrade for his dads wishes....

Re: Prop Me Up

I have a McCauley CM7142/1B90 on my 0-200, Cessna 140, with 337 papers from Witchita back in 1987. Climbs great but easy to go over redline when I level so I pay particular attention to that detail. Sweet spot in cruise seems to be around 2450, about 100+mph. Static 2100 to 2400.
