Looking for a good Climb Propeller for an O-235 Longez. 58x66 is recommended but would like some suggestions for short field performance with a minimum impact on cruise.  Thanks for your help.  Rob

Thanks for the reply.  What is your full throttle rpm at cruise altitude?  How did you takeoff at 1600 lbs., that's 175 lbs over max takeoff weight, impressive that it wold fly?

  sorry i did mistake with conversion kg into lbs... I mean 1150 lbs!

About full throttle TAS, if my memory is good it was about 145 Kt at 2950 RPM ZP 3000 Ft. I felt that engine could take more rpm, but I don't like exceeding limitation..

Bill2,

Yeah I hear ya. My max rpm is 2800 so I'm trying to find a prop that won't overspeed the engine to much.  I'm hearing that no more than 5% over is ok.
