Seeking input on propeller options. 1992 plans built Rose Parrakeet, O-200 Continental engine. Current prop is a wooden 70x50 (manufacturer unknown). I’ve seen others post about cruise speeds in excess of 110mph with 65hp engines. I can get 110 (barely) at 2700rpm, but I’d prefer to cruise at around 2500-2600 rpm. Current takeoff roll & climb rate is acceptable. I’m just looking for opinions on what might be ideal for this little biplane. Thoughts?

Also, advise if this question would be better to post in an alternate thread.

Thanks
