68x74 is what my notes say. Basically the same as Tracy's original prop.

2.176:1 will definitely not windmill at pattern or glide speed for an RV-3 (about 100 mph). Might make a 1/3 turn and stop again if you point it down a bit. And that was with an engine that had rather low compression.
Tested several times over Clearwater Airpark.

What prop diameter and pitch?
