Hi Guys, I hope the Sensenich works well as I have one on order, should be here in April. Whirl Wind now advertise 2 and 3 blade ground adjustable props, but the diameters appear to be more than most owners would want.

Dave and others, I have about 100 hours on my sensenich 912-S combo. So far I can say I love it. Easy to adjust, all bolts have never changed torque when checked and my performance is slightly better than the warp drive that I started with. Jeff R. N128LJ Gold Rush...

Graham, Sensenich do do three blades on their composite prop (or they had it in development a couple of years ago). Probably the combined blade area will be too great for the 912S. And the price, given what only two blades cost.
