Ed,

You meet the Hammers Brothers at Sun-n -fun this year. They say the top speeds they achieve are all from fixed pitched props. They have recommend

Catto prop but not the 3 blade. You will suffer big time on take off though when you try to take-off in Aspen if it is hot and will not be the rocket on take off you were use to with the MT.

What is the best prop for a 360 for max cruise speed? Presently have a MT12 3 blade cs, but considering a fixed pitch 2 blade or a 3 blade Catto. Plane takes off like a rocket, so I don’t really need takeoff pitch. Almost all use is long distance travel. Engine is Superior IO360, 180 hp. All opinions welcome and needed. Ed Gray
