(Scott Stearns) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:23:27 PM PST US Subject: KIS-List: Prince P-tip Propeller Users? From: "BlueSkyFlier" Greetings KIS TR-1 owners, I recently bought a TR-1 (kit #30) constructed by Peter Webb here in the UK. She flies beautifully but can do with a slightly less coarse pitch prop. I am seriously considering fitting a Prince P-tip (carbon fiber version). According to Lonnie Prince there are 24 KIS aircraft flying with Prince P-tip propellers. Anyone out there who can comment on what pitch works well on the TR-1? ... engine power would be a factor in that equation I guess :o)) My tractor is an O-240 which supposedly cranks out 130 hp at 2800 RPM peak. Would appreciate any input regarding your experiences with Prince P-tip props. Thanks and regards, Alfred Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=329151#329151 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:04:09 PM PST US From: "F. Tim Yoder" Subject: Re: KIS-List: Prince P-tip Propeller Users? Congratulations, I enjoy my TR-1, kit #47. I also have the IO-240 B1B, they are rated 125 min. hp to 130 at 2800 I think. I have a wood Sensenich 69 x 72 prop. and get 165 mph at 2550 RPM and 195 mph at 2800rpm at gross weight (1550#) for both speeds, 920# empty. What is your static RPM and max. cruise RPM with the prop you have?

My prince prop is gorgeous.- My prop arrived without paint on the tips. - I'd ask him to paint the tips white so you have a visible-prop arc. - The FAA is big on that over here.- I painted my tips-myself. - Scott --- On Mon, 1/31/11, BlueSkyFlier wrote: From: BlueSkyFlier Subject: KIS-List: Prince P-tip Propeller Users?
