I'll check what mine is soon! But my fuel burn is very high. That being said it basically runs full power from time of takeoff, LOL.

Hi Trev
I did talk to John at Jetcat today about it and he said you could go up to 180,000 but he said that the fuel consumption really goes up to a fuel burn of almost what a P-120 would burn. So I think I am about what I will stay at now with the 24x14, it is fairly quiet and has quit good vertical. Maybe being at 3500' is good match with this prop. Will keep playing with it a bit at this level and see how it goes.

Thanks
Alan

This is in the Raven. I did notice that I was getting some govenor action on it on some of the down lines when she was winding up.

Alan.. it has been a while since I played with the rpm settings but I believe mine is at 171k also. Mine came set at either 151k or 155k and a few others had the same. Bumped it up as far as it would go (which I think is 171k) and what a difference.

I have tried the Bella 24x12, 24x14 and 25x12. The 24x12 was the fastest by a few mph and had the best pull
