Windlass 503.
What would be the best prop for cruising ? Prepared to trade in a little climb and some take off distance

I do alot of long distance flying and the prop that I currently use is a PProp 72x46. When speaking to Pieter he said that this would be the best prop for cruising. Not only was he right but the thrust is excellent. I currently cruise straight and level at 53mph and my revs are 5200rpm. The fuel consumption is also great. Flew to Graskop not so long ago and was lighter on fuel than the 582 except one. My climb rate is at 750fpm in neutral. You will not be sorry when purchasing the PProp that I can bet you. (just my thoughts)

Have a 72/46 spare prop. Needs balancing and maybe back on the trike. Currently a 3 bladed IVO.
