Larry I beleive you answered your own question when you said 70hp at 2300
rpm.  I think that is close to correct.  Question is what about cruise
speed?  I have a 0200 that I will be installing on my KR2S that I removed
from my Citabria, I was using a 69X48 McCaully prop.  I could get 2610 RPM
static, 2700 90 mph climb, 2750 redline 120mph cruise.  The way I understand
it the higher the expected cruise speed the shorter the prop needs to be,
but at the same time it needs more angle.  I wonder if you could ask Ed
Sturba about shortning your prop about 2" to get your RPM up since that last
2" is probably what the hardest for your engine to turn.  If you would like
to experament with my 69 by 48 your are welcome.  It also has a bulk head
and 9" spinner. Jim Raleigh
