Setting Pitch on Flight Adjustable Prop

    Static rpm is really only good to get you in the ballpark with an unknown prop and plane. Once there the only real way to get a true pitch setting for the prop is to fly it and make any final adjustments. When I tested all those props years ago some props had quite a lot of difference in static rpm to be the same rpm in the air. I had some 2 blades that 470 static was good while other three blades were closer to 4900. Static is a good coarse adjustment. Flying the plane and making a final adjustment is the best way.
