Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: 3300 exhaust system

Peter,
    I still don't have the right prop.  The  current one is a 64ZK55 wood 
Sensenich and I can still over speed the engine at  WOT by quite a bit - even up

at 5000 feet or more.  At sea level I really  have to bring the throttle back 
to keep it at 3300  rpm and with that I am  seeing an average of 205 MPH 
indicated.  At 5000 feet on a standard day I  can overspeed the engine with this

prop by something over 150 rpm.  True  airspeed in MPH at 5000 and the throttle

pulled back to 3300 is something like  185 to 188 mph tas. I have a 62FK68 on 
order that should be closer to the right  prop.  Will likely be at least 
another month until that shows up.  In  the mean time, with the current prop, I

cruise at 8,000 to 10,000 feet on an XC  at about 170 mph tas but am only  
burning about 5.8 gallons per hour -  pretty good economy.  Even with this current

prop take off roll is still  short (about 600' at gross weight), and rate of 
climb is still good (initially  about 1200 fpm).   
Blue Skies,
Buz
