You could go for a compromise prop - there are 3 pitches
of Sensenich metal prop recommended for the Rebel.
74" diameter x 54, 56, or 58 inch pitch
The 54 is climb, and the 58 is cruise - I have the 56" on
my O-320. It seems to work well for both - climb is about 1,500 fpm,
with 2 aboard, and cruise is about 125 mph at 2,450 rpm, with faired gear.
I hope to use this prop on amphibs this summer, and don't
expect any problems.

worthHello all,
I have a question to all Murphy rebel owners.
I am putting a Lycoming 0-320 on my rebel, and
we haven't decided yet which propellor to go with.
I would like to hear from those of you who have
put on the climb prop or the cruise prop. Those with
the climb prop, what is your rate of climb? and what is
your cruise speed?
Those with the cruise prop, what is your cruising speed?
and what is your rate of climb?
I am trying to decide if it is worth having the climb prop,
because we have 160hp engine. Or is it worth having
more speed when you are in the air.
Thankyou for your responses.
