Hello, I have come across a 1991 Pietenpol Air Camper, Cub gear and wings, anda C-85 engine and McCauley C7441 74" prop. The engine starts and runs well butI'm only getting about 2350 RPM on take off. Does anyone know if all thissounds ok or could I possibly need a smaller prop?--------Open CockpitRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

First off, I can only find photo links about half the time, so Jack, I'msure your new gear looks great!!All painted sheet metal installed, fabricated new center section crossbracing cables (were rods), fabricating forward baggage compartment (alaJack P) closure. Have to paint underbelly ply, ordered eyelets and will docoamings soon. Guess I'll just glue up some foam cushions in case shapesneed to be changed before I sew coverings. Hoping to head to the airport within a couple of weeks.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pitenpol Air CAmper Prop Size

Hello Mike,I also have a c-85 on mine. I like to fly a 72 x 42 prop. It seems to work verygood on these slow planes. 2350 - 2400 on climb out is not too bad. I turnabout 2425 on climb out with mine. They red line at 2575. I can reach thatat full throttle in straight & level flight.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pitenpol Air CAmper Prop Size
