I always thought this would be something nice to experiment with after I got my plane in the air. I'm really interested to hear your final results, both performance and price. Please, keep use up to date! -- Michael Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=142543#142543 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:48:48 PM PST US From: "Peter Harris" Subject: RE: JabiruEngine-List: 3300 exhaust system Buz You are getting some great results and I will be interested to hear about the new prop with 68 pitch. I think I am losing out on RPM as max WOT is barely 3000 RPM. I will consider getting a Sensenich later but I am waiting for a few more hours on the clock. With 72 pitch I get up to 1500FPM climb at 90 KTS and so I think you will not lose much in climb rate with the new prop. and it should fix the WOT factor about right. Please let me know how it works out ! That must be a slippery air frame.

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).
