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?


Get you to your POH. Do NOT listen to old wives tales especially when it
comes to geared engines. Running the GO-300 at incorrectly l low RPM
settings is one of the reason they got a bad name.
