Hi Kingsley

NSI CAP140 set to give 5,600 rpm static which gives 5,800 rpm at 72kts. No
constant speed unit except my finger.

Normal ground roll off our grass strip which is smooth but humped is sub 200
metres. Hot (by UK standards), humid, no wind or even worse cross wind, and
heavy (MTW 1300 lbs) it goes up to maybe 300 to 350.  I am still 50 feet
over the far hedge but I don't like it.

Pete

Pete,

Could you advise if you have a fixed pitch or constant speed propeller 
please?

Thanks
Kingsley in Oz
