Online Community of Zenith Builders and Flyers
Hi All, my Sensenich prop is pitched from the original builder at #4 and I’m getting a static RPM just under 2800 RPM. Climb out around 2850 and max level around 2930. Thinking of decreasing pitch for better climb as I’m flying in higher DA as temps are warming up. Will be going in/out of some Idaho mountains and might need a little extra climb. Anybody play around with the pitch tools and find mind sharing where you ended up? Thanks!

A few years ago Roger did a video about trying different settings on the Cruzer. The video is probably still on the Zenith youtube channel. You could probably check with him about the settings they use.
