I have a 1979 7ECA with the 0-235K2 engine and a Sensenich 72CK08-0-52 prop. Do any of you have the same model/engine but with a 72CK08-0-50 prop? I was curious on what could be expected for cruise speed with the 50 inch pitch vs the 52 that I am running. Is the takeoff performance noticeably...

Hi, I just got a '79 7ECA. When I first got it the door lock worked fine. Today, when I tried to lock it, the key turned, the latch was locked, but I could not remove the key. It would unlock and the key came right out. Any suggestions, ideas? Thanks! Bill
