Default RE: 3W75iUS prop

This is an older engine 2000 model, I went with the walbro because I never could get the
oem carb to run right, it has a very restrictive johnson pitts muffler wich is aprox 100rpm
less than the supersonic pitts I had before, but more quiet, I have sent it to Aircraft Int'l
for a full check up, everything good, the engine starts/runs perfectly.
I understand that the Bambula is a heavier load prop and not a performance one by any
means, the airplane just feels too fast even at 1/3 power settings and landing speed is
a little fast, I'm using a throttle mix on a switch for landing to drop idle rpm's from 1800
to 1500, otherwise plane wants to keep flying.
I'm looking for a prop with less speed, more low end pull and more braking for landings.

Tks, Allen
