Kostas, John, et.al...

I have a 7148 prop and typically see around 2500 RPM indicated or so and cruise 
at about 108 MPH at 2000' MSL wide-open. My normal cruise setting is 2350 RPM, 
which gets me 103-105 MPH.  My ASI is pretty accurate since I repaired the 
static leak.  Hartmut and I are finding that it is often not the ASI that is 
inaccurate, but more likely a static leak if you are reading high or a pitot 
leak if you are reading low.  The best way to determine whether or not you have 
a gross error is to do some stalls and note the airspeed at which it "breaks".  
It should be close to the charted numbers, somewhere between the low 50's and 
mid 40's depending on your model and in-flight weight.  Check the lines where 
they connect at the back of the instrument first if you determine there's an 
error. 

Hope that helps-- happy 'couping!

Dave
