Well I did it, set the airplane up at aprox 10 degree climb attitude and

fire-walled the throttle for two full minutes.  All the numbers look good

and I have much more confidence in the package.  When I make my first

flight this is the attitude or shallower I will climb out at.

To answer yor question, the prop is a warp drive and is set at 8.5 degrees.  This gives a static test of 2850 RPM.  The engine ran for a full two minutes at full static RPM.
