I am going to use an 0-200 on my Piet. I have an 0-200 on my Cessna 140.My Cessna flys 100 mph. Since the Piet will never get close to that speed Ifeel that perhaps a different pitch prop should be used. If I am right, anyideas on how to choose the right propellor?Ted Brousseau________________________________________________________________________________

Ted .... I asked Chad Wiley for cruise speeds with an 0-200 before I bought my first set of plans. Chad owns St Criox aircraft and builds and sells wood props. He and his Dad have built several Piets. He owns an 0-200 powered Piet. His answer was " 80 mph solo, 76 mph @ 1250 gross weight with a 76" X 34" climb prop. 80 mph @ gross weight with a 72" X 42" prop but less climb rate. Sounds like a big diffence in props to me but it sounds like he has tried them both. Hope this is of some help.
