John: I ran 48 through 52 on the plane... still configured with 26" tires. Prop pitches ran 48 for super short TO/Landing times or when I was demoing the plane with two up. 52" prop for trips...very comfortable and ran ca. 115mph... and the 50 stayed on there the remainder of the time. The airplane ran faster, and as a result cooler, burned less fuel, and seemed "happer" after the flow-match, balance, and high compression pistons. I'm convinced that 7:1 C-200 pistons just don't know what to do with 100LL. Bart has the answer. R

I have always felt the supercub is one thing mankind got right the first time but that there were better materials and methods to build them. CubCrafters products are proof I was right.
You got to remember ralph had the hot rod engine what I call a "S3" so drop two points on the pitches for standard engine like for me similar results but with 46-50 cart
