I've got a rotax 277 with 5hrs total time and a fisher exhaust. It has a 2.125:1 belt drive and is swinging a 54x24 wood prop. Static rpm is 5800 and it stays at 5800 in a climb but reaches 6000rpm in level flight at full throttle.
I am new to the 277 and not exactly sure what the recomended operating parameters are for this engine. this setup was sold by J Bird as a complete package about 5 years ago.
Let me know your thoughts guys, i think im probably below the recomended full throttle rpm but i cant believe im overpropped with the 54x24. The crank seals pressure test fine and the engine has plenty of compression.
