Glad your getting some flying in.  Surprised speeds aren't better.  If you can overrev straight and level, I would say add some pitch to the prop.  You very well may not loose much climb performance, and gain some cruise.  JImChuk

I thought I would get more speed too. Haven't changed anything yet but Think I will add some pitch to the prop and start to play with it. So far I am just having fun flying again ha

Hard to see but it looks like your wing struts are streamlined.  With no streamlining, you will use 22hp to push those tubes through the air.  With a 3:1 streamline, it goes down to below 2hp.
