  1. Thanks for the reply Mike. Hanging/working for the chapter in Oshkosh this week for a few days...I'd probably be there all week but I live to darn close and work still gets in my way!

    Later,

  2. Sounds like it's working well. I'm not going to OSH this year unfortunately. I wish I was. Probably going next year.
  3. Hi Mike, I have some preliminary performance numbers on the carbon fiber sensenich. These numbers are based on my first (recommended) setting which is #3 on the hub setting. Climb- vy 800fpm@2850rpm, cruise 102 mph @ 2930rpm, W.O.T. Straight and level 112mph@3050rpm. Overall I am happy with the performance but of course I will experiment with other pitch settings to see if and how I can improve on what I have, maybe less pitch. Any thoughts you have are more than welcome! Hope all is well, are you doing Oshkosh?

  4. I'll let you know, I hope to be back in the air before July......hopefully.
  5. Let me know how that prop works. I'm really curious to see how it performs.
  6. Thanks Mike,
    I talked to Pete at Jabiru USA today and ordered a ground adjust 2 blade Sensenich carbon fiber. I had an inflight prop failure last Sat. morning resulting in my first forced landing. Not sure yet what caused it but looks like the spinner came off and hit the prop leading edge on one blade which shattered the wood. Hope your prop works well for you when you get one. I'll try to let you know how the one works for me.

  7. No I haven't yet. I would sure like to though. I've been so busy at work I haven't had much time to do anything with mine lately. Finally was home long enough to go to fly in this weekend. If I do get one I'll be sure to let you know.
  8. Hi Mike,
    Did you buy the Prince prop you were telling me about a few months back? If you did, how do your performance numbers look?

    Thanks,

    Dan
  9. Is that 2900 in level flight at full throttle? I can almost get 3300 at full throttle and level flight. Static rpm on the ground I get around 2850.
  10. My cruise is 95mph @ 2800 rpm and climb is an easy 1000 fpm at 1000 lbs gross. I think I might have to much prop pitch because it's rare to get over 2900rpm at full throttle. What do you think?
