What kind of price do you have on the prop? I am in need of one.

Anyone interested in an almost new Ed Sterba prop with spinner cut to fit
with dual bulkheads, contact me.  It is a 52 50 and came off the VW 2276
that I have for sale.  Sterba makes a very good prop for the VW.

Just recently changed to a Ed Sterba 54 x 54. Much better for my engine.
Static RPM now 2900. I can now cruise at 3000 rpm at 130 mph. Feels much
better on the engine.

Just to provide another data point on the prop discussion.

Engine Revmaster 2100D (65 hp variety). 390 hours total time (since 2006)

Original prop was Ed Sterba 54 x 50. My static rpm was 3200, max was 3400 in 
level flight. I used to cruise at 120 mph at 3100 rpm.

Just recently changed to a Ed Sterba 54 x 54. Much better for my engine. Static 
RPM now 2900. I can now cruise at 3000 rpm at 130 mph. Feels much better on the 
engine. I was never comfortable running the Revmaster at 3400 rpm at max 
throttle.

I do believe there are major differences in Prop manufacturers.  I stayed with 
Sterba because I knew the replacement would be consistent with that 
manufacturer. He also makes pretty good props - love the leading edge 
protection.

My KR2 with a Revmaster 2100D has a Sterba 54X50 prop and my static is still 
too 
high at 3400 RPM.  Maybe you should check your engine to see if it is putting 
out all the power it should.
