Good looking airplane. If I get a long(ish) layover at DEN I'll look you up!

What’s the best climb prop pitch for a 160hp engine? 54? 56?

Ya got me man, this is my first. Still learning. My uneducated mind says 54 between the two you mentioned.

I would look at this thread. Figure 50 rpm increase or decrease of prop pitch if your prop is still pitched what it is stamped. They tend to flatten out over time.

58” and still cruises well on my 160 Clipper.

I had a 58" on a 150 hp PA-22/20 and it was a good performer.
