How does the prop do?

[Gmovies]

I thought I'd post here since the Eagle community would have the most experience with a standard Hartzel 2-blade metal prop. My new bird seems to have a "sort of constant speed" prop. It holds constant speed to within about 300 RPM or so. With prop control full fwd I'm getting only about 2500 on takeoff. During aerobatics the RPM will drop with reduced airspeed. In a dive the tach will show about 2650 but I've never seen 2700. I've obtained a digital optical tack to double check the RPM...

How well does the standard 2-blade metal CS prop hold RPM during acro on a typical Eagle? My prop and gov only has 30 hrs since overhaul but it was like almost 10 years ago.

Thanks!
