   Thanks for the quick reply.
   Is there any way to estimate how many more fuel it will burn in terms of percentage due those 2000 more Feet ?
   I know that it is not possible to be precise due other variables, but I'm looking for a general feeling. Could we say something like 5 or 10% more ?

   Rotax 582 behaviour in different altitudes

   Hi,
   
   I will be doing a 2 hours air navigation in the next weekend. The altitudes from source and target airports are about 2000 FT. The field altitude during the route is also about the same altitude.
   I have 2 options regarding the altitude to be used during the flight: 3500FT or 5500FT.
   What is the Rotax 582 behavior at 5500 FT, specially regarding fuel consumption, comparing with 3500 FT ?
   
   Thanks in advance for the help.

   Actually I made a confusion. The currect one is 66x41 and I'm wondering if I should replace by 66x44 in order to speedup the cruise.
   I agree that a ground adjustable propeller may be a good idea. I will take a look in the options and prices here in Brazil.

   I have a two blade 66x44. It takeoff and climb very well, but cruise is about 70 to 75MPH. In my understand, it should give me about 87 MPH. I'm wondering if I should replace the propeller to a 66x41 in order to speed up the cruise.
   Actually the seller told me that current propeller is 66x44, but on this weekend I will remove the spinner for confirmation.
   You can have a better idea about how the propeller looks like on this picture:

   Propeller Pitch for Avid with Rotax 582-E

   Hi,
   
   I have an Avid Flyer MK-IV with Rotax 582-E. The reduction ratio should be 2,62x1
   I'm wondering what is the best propeller pitch in order to keep cruise speed around 90 MPH.
   
   Thanks.
