Any advice for high and low pitch prop blade angle settings? I've got a 200 HP IO-360 powered Skybolt and have just had a 72" Hartzell HC-C2YR-1BF with F7666A-4 blades overhauled. Yes I know it's oil pressure to course, which is not really kosher for serious aerobatics. My intention is to fly Sunday afternoon style aerobatics only with very little negative G, even though the fuel and oil system is full inverted capable. So I'd appreciate any advice particularly in regards to high and low pitch blade angles and just for my own interest, how much would that vary with prop diameter? Thanks for your help! Frank
