<p>No, I hadn't heard of NR Prop. Went to their website to check them out. They are located in<span> Kiev, Ukraine, so I expect they are "pre-occupied" with other concerns. Sorry for the bad joke, such a shame that a promising country gets overran by their neighbor.</span></p>

The previous owner said he tested a few different blade angles and it is currently set to what he thought was the best compromise between climb and cruise performance. When flying it home, it "cruised" at about 68 mph at 2800 rpm. This plane has no strut fairings, bubble doors, larger main wheels. I haven't had a chance to test different angle settings.
