    Hi Dane, it's me again, I was sitting here thinking about what I said and realized it made no sense. Let me clear it up. I'm not familiar with Warp Drive props, they seem to be the standard everyone talks about when discussing pitch, I don't know how they or others for that matter measure their angle of adjustment / pitch. I have tried very pitch setting imaginable but I finally decided I wanted a little more cruise. With the pitch set really fine I did see a little better improvement in climb and the initial acceleration was good but cruise suffered immensely. I compromised and set it up for a good climb rate and nice cruise. The engine turns 3750 in climb and I let it stretch out to 3900 for cruise. Any questions let me know.

    Hi Dane,

    Are you still flying your 701 with Great Plains VW engine? I hope to fly mine with a VW and am checking for happy 701 VW folks.
