 speed prop would be a great addition.  At high density altitudes a fixed 

 pitch is really at a disadvantage.  Sure, you lose engine power at 

 altitude regardless of the prop, but with a constant speed you are 

 starting out with far superior takeoff performance in the first place.


	


Certainly a CS prop provides better climb performance than a FP prop

along with other advantages during cruise but a FP prop is not unsafe

or a worthless prop choice here.
