Sorry for getting your name wrong. I would still like to hear your thoughts on shortening the prop giving both better climb rate and cruise speed.

No problem at all Clem. At least I am not Rex #4.
 We have a lot of members on the list and some
repeats. And my memory for names is probably the
worst here.
I save a lot of messages from you all too. This is
how I have learned all my life. Grab every scrap of
info that comes along.
There has to be more factors involved to answer this
other than just the prop. I have heard of it before
and I bet the prop manufacturer has worked out an
answer.
Props are made for an average usage. To match a
specific engine and plane some tweeking might help all
of them, and us. A 5% improvement is a lot for a
prop. This is even more. It obviously is giving more
thrust, but why? Is it prop or engine efficiency that
improved?
I know if I was there with Don S. years ago, I could
have picked out his slippage problem right off. Hard
to catch everything in an e-mail. Same with this prop
mod I expect. Need more info....
Kurt S.
P.S. Wish I was the "Consumer Reports" of KitFox's.
I enjoy testing and learning. Have to be satisfied
with the vicarious info from you all. But isn't
this a good plane to do it with?
