  Bob,
    I would suggest that some of your perceptions/flight characteristics would
improve and the negative ones disappear if you installed a constant speed
prop.  I have a similiar 235/320 with an oleo nose gear and 3 blade Mt Prop
which flerts with a forward c.g range.  Also, allowing higher climb out speeds
and shorter take off runs.  $$ but worth it... Don Skeele N320J >
