I have the 85HP with a 7150......cruise is 110mph, climb is horrible at gross, next annual I'm getting it repitched to a 7148. I'll try that out for a while off my grass strip. If I still don't like it, I'll go for the 7146 at the next annual..........

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----I want to buy a 415D coupe with a 7150 prop on an 85HP engine. I will repitch to a climb prop but....I live on a 2000 foot sod runway, 1000'elev., thick grass, in GA (hot summers 90F). Anybody have real-world comments about departure performance flying simular conditions? How much better will coupe perform with a 7148, or a 7146 ( I don't care about cruise speed)? My impression is that a coupe with a 7150 prop would not do well at gross out of my runway over about 30F. Can an 85hp with a 7146 prop climb out just as well as a 0-200 (with standard prop) or is this wishful thinking? Any insight would be appreciated.============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/
