| Subject: | Sensenich prop install, 2200 |
Hello all;
I have two questions concerning installation of the Sensenich prop on my Jab 2200;
1.) Since my prop is Sensenich as apposed to a Jabiru prop, do the Belleville washers
have to be used per the Jabiru install instructions?. I read that the washers
are used because the Jab prop is a soft wood. The Sensenich prop instruction
don't call for these washers.
2.) The alternate propeller installation method described by Jabiru for their props
shows the mounting bolts installed in the reverse direction as compared to
the standard assembly method. I would like to install my bolt in the opposite
direction as well. I have a clearance problem with the prop locknut's being
real close the cowling. Installing the bolts reversed will solve the problem.
Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions

+++ Since the Jab folks are heading to OSH I'll offer what I've done. I am
not an expert so take this FWIW:
When changing from the original Jab prop to a Sensenich about fifty
hours ago I did not use the belleville washers but what the Sensenich
diagram called for. Torque values have held through three checks.
I also have reversed the direction of the bolt/nut with no problems.

I installed my Sensenich W62HJ46 wood prop as per Sensenich's
instructions, that is, bolts pointing forward, 1 belleville washer
with the cupped side against the plate, followed by the nylon lock nut.
As far as I could determine, the "alternate prop mounting" service
bulletin that came out was for the softer Jabiru-made props. At least
that's what I read into that bulletin, and ignored it for my
Sensenich prop installation.
I think that the reason for the multiple washers was to allow the
washers to flex enough to maintain torque throughout humidity changes
with that softer prop material. I spoke with Pete about this and I'm
pretty certain that it was from him that I got the info needed to
ignore the bulletin in my case. If still in doubt, give him a call or
email him before he heads for Oshkosh. Or try calling Jim at Pacific
Jabiru, as he'll still be there....Pacific time zone and all that.
