Dave;
Gee I'm sorry, I did not take reading. I was using a mejslik 20-10 & just not getting the performance I needed on a 17lb edge. While at field a mate was using a BME 50 and had this BME 22-8 prop & he changed to a 22-10. I bought the 22-8 (BME prop)for $18. On a whim I put her on the 44 & had significantly better performance with the plane. Because it was a whim, I did not think to take rpm, but ear said it was not significantly lower. Hope this helps.

Wow! That is real useful information. So maybe the performance difference between the two engines goes down with the right prop. You probaby don't want to use the 22x8 until the engine is well broken in.
Thanks, Dave
