Hi

Some advice please on prop settings, my Europa has a 914 engine with an Arp
last PV-50 prop in fine pitch it=92s set to give just under 5400 rpm static
 and on take-off works as it should the problem is when I set to cruise I a
im for 130 Kts but I have to keep coming back on the throttle not to go abo
ve that speed I end up with 130 Kts with an rpm of 4200 the problem started
 after a prop service, normally I tend to cruise at 125/130 for 4650/4700 r
pm-ish, there=92s 10=B0 difference between fine and coarse pitch, which way
 should I adjust + or ' the 10=B0 prop difference?

Cheers Paul
