OK guys, here is another question!!

What do we think is the best combination of pitch / diameter vs engine response for a Pitts S1 for aerobatic competition work??

I have a 76" 60 pitch sensenitch , it was overhauled by a prop shop and seems to have a lot of metal removed in the cord compared to a standard prop.

Full throttle straight and level will give 2900 rpm and only 140mph.

If going metal again what prop / pitch do you have and how does it work?

Also how are the MT and other wooden props comparing?

Many thanks!!!
