I'd like to add that the fixed pitch 180hp MMII only outran me by 3 kts ... Gary Green's fixed pitch bird would have smoked it!!! And while we're talking Mustang IIs, the polished retract finished 3 kts behind me :O |

You needed that 28 pound steel bar in the trunk, Lee. I have flown with Gary and he is hard to keep up with. The avantage of a constant speed prop is it lets you go up and down faster, I've been passed by 0-320's and fixed pitch on several occasions. |
