Well, sent my info to the insurance, they got back to me, through one of
the other partners, and said they needed more information. They wanted to
know how many hours I had in a 175B, I said I had none, but shouldn't the
172 count? It's the same except for the CS prop. So I gave them what they
wanted, and they said that I was covered now for dual until I got 2 hours
and a sign off. Went and did that tonight, now I'll fax them a copy of the
signoff and away I go! I hope. I won't be suprised if they want something
else though.

Love the plane though, man what a difference from a 150. 15 years older
than what I was flying and so much nicer. I only wish it had a back window
so I could hold centerline better.

Still a little weired out about the CS prop though. Read what I could
find and it seems like everyone I talk to has a different opinion on what is
right and wrong. Some say climb at 24MP and 2400 RPM prop. Cruise at 23
squared. The tach has a red area marked and is noted that you shouldn't run
in that range for an extended period, it's around 1700-2000 RPM's I think.
What's up with that? Vibration? Harmonics? I was also told to use full prop
if under 100MPH or under 15MP. Can anyone enlighten me on this?
