    Send it to Mark. He’s currently re-pitching a Tempest from 24p to a 23p for me.

    No doubt... I would have almost driven out to ABI. Still have friends there from my days at Dyess.

    If you are within 200 RPM's of your motors maximum WOT RPM's then you should just purchase another prop. You will then have a Summer and Colder month prop selection. 24P for Summer 25P for cooler conditions.
