582 with 'E' box with 3:1 ratio. The plane is a Model II Kitfox that was
completed in 1996. I have the prop angle set at 10.5 to play around at
home and 11.0 degrees when I want to do cross country. The Model II has
a very STOL wing and my cruise is about 70 mph but I can push it to 95

Thanks Stan. You're numbers are a little more consistent with mine, as I'm
getting 80mph cruise at 5800rpm out of my 3:1 582 in a K-IV-1200. I use 12
degrees. Unfortunately others do much better. (Isn't that always true?)
