Here is some propeller information.  I hope more people will post their
numbers too.
My engine is a IO320 with 9.5:1 pistons,  dyno'ed at 196hp, by Lycon.  The
airframe is a 235.

Data is from linear trend lines fitted to a large number of data points
taken on different days at different altitudes and temperatures.

Manufacturer                     Dia    Pitch       Static RPM     Speed at
2700 RPM

Performance Propellers
3-blade                           60       80           2280            
187kt

Warnke  (almost constant
speed)  2-blade                   64       79           2450            
175kt

Felix "bicambered"
3-blade                           61       81           2150            
176kt

Sadly, I broke the Performance prop in an accidental gear retraction.  The
Warnke prop was flown without a spinner.
