• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have an IO-360 200 Hp in my Acro II, I currently have a Sencenich wood 76-60 but the vertical penetration is only 500 to 600 ft from level flight at 125 MPH before I get to within 15 MPH of stall speed of 55 MPH.
What is a normal prop pitch for a climb prop with this motor? From what I have seen a cruse prop is pitched between 60 and 62?
Can I get better performance with a different prop???
Thanks,
