I'm hoping to benefit from the advice of those who have gone before.... I'm about to spring for a prop for my 9A, with an IO-360 (I know, not advised by Van, but I generally operate at high density altitude and wanted the bit of extra potential power). My main use will be cross-country; I don't have to have the bigger engine, but would rather have the reserve if needed to get out of a tight spot, and can always throttle back. Standard FP prop that Vans sells for the IO-360 (on an RV-7A) is with 85" of pitch. Can anybody give me a reason to go with more or less than the one Van's sells? I notice that Sensenich can make the same model with pitches between 77 and 88.
Thanks,
greg
