    Thanks. The gaps are 0.6 mm.
    The inclination of the blades are all exactly the same.

    "The settings are:
    T.O. 5800 rpm
    Climb 5500 rpm
    Cruise 4800 rpm

    Cruise is too low - Min 5000 rpm - better 5200 rpm. Yes I know 4800 rpm is allowed but you are a long way below Max Torque - even a slight climb will labour the engine. 

    Try switching to Manual mode and increasing the rpm to 5200 RPM @  about 26.5 Hg - see how that sounds/feels.

    "I had the prop balance checked and it was within the limit. As far as I remember it was 0.1 when 0.2 was the limit".

    Dont know what you mean . To balance my propeller I did the following:

    A vacuum balance on my carburettors.

    Checked for prop pitch variation using a digital protractor and a Warp Drive bubble type protractor.

    Checked for acceptable tip tracking (within 5mm)

    Followed by dynamic balance in my normal cruising rpm range - several repetitions

    I achieved a balance of 0.05 inches per second (ips) which I considered acceptable.😈
