96 astro fsx20 fish and ski 200 efi 1.87 gear.
Original prop 21p laser 2.
Max 6100 rpm 50 mph 23% slip.
After having prop double cupped
Max 5800 rpm 54 mph 13% slip. Better handling.
Tried a 21 tempest and a (worked/re pitched to 22) 23 tempest (similar performance)
6000rpm 57 mph 11% slip.
Is it normal for a tempest prop to chatter or make engine sound like it's working real hard when put in gear and idling? Rev up a little and it goes away.
The laser is smooth at all rpm ranges.
Since i I have the tempest and it has a little better performance and probably fuel efficiency wondering if there is any tricks to stop the chatter? It's on both props and the worked on was balanced.
