Hi
Some advice please on prop settings, my Europa has a 914 engine with an Arplast PV-50 prop in fine pitch it’s set to give just under 5400 rpm static and on take-off works as it should the problem is when I set to cruise I aim for 130 Kts but I have to keep coming back on the throttle not to go above that speed I end up with 130 Kts with an rpm of 4200 the problem started after a prop service, normally I tend to cruise at 125/130 for 4650/4700 rpm-ish, there’s 10° difference between fine and coarse pitch, which way should I adjust + or – the 10° prop difference?
Cheers Paul
