Has anyone experimented with different props on Glasairs. When builders of
Venture aircraft switched Hartzell with McCauley props they noticed a ten knot
increase in speed.

I switched from -4 to -2 blades and increased my cruise on 10GPH from 203 to
210MPH on my TD. I also experimented with -8 blades to give me more ground
clearance. This is the smallest diameter listed for these blades by
Hartzell. I flew the set up for about 900 hours and it worked fine with
unnoticeable speed change from the -4 blades. I went to the -2 blades when
I changed my gear to the longer Glasair II struts.
By the way, if anyone has a ground clearance concern, I have a rebuilt hub
with the -8 blades. The set up was done by Sunstate Propeller in Tampa. It
is for experimental use only as Hartzell does not have an application for
the -8 blades. I will sell the prop for $3500. Robin Young 286YM
