Had it for 11 years, and have had no problems with it. It is made of
wood,
covered with glass fibre. Now you can get them covered with carbon
fibre I
think.

Thank you for the information. How long have you had the P-Tip prop?
Have
you experienced any problems with it? Have you got a wooden or carbon
fibre
prop?

I have an IO-240 A in my TR-1 with a Prince P-Tip 62x68. Full throttle
give
2800 RPM and around 155 kts. 2500 RPM (7.5 psi fuel pressure that
according
to engine manual should be 70%) give 135-140 kts.

John,
I have a wood Sensenich 68x72 on my TR-1 with the IO-240 B1B. I get 2050
RPM static at my field elevation of 1480'. At 3000', at full throttle,
it goes to 2800 RPM and IAS is 190/195 mph. Cruise at 2550 RPM is
160/165 mph. I would like more static RPM for more HP at take off. I
think Prince and others have some pitch and length combinations that
might be a little more optimal.
I fly in Arizona and regularly take off of airports at 5000'+ alt. with
a density alt. of 7000' to 9000'. At gross weight, the initial clime is
only about 400 fpm.
I thin many of us would like to have an MT adjustable prop! Money is
always a consideration though.
Good luck, Tim

Gentlemenhat I have a 2-place KIS TR-1 G-BZDR which currently has an
IO-240 A1B fitted (125HP) spinning an MT Variable pitch 3-blade prop.
The prop has been sent for overhaul and the estimate is too expensive
for me. Therefore, I'm looking at downgrading to a fixed-pitch 2-blade
wooden prop.
The manufacturer will optimise the prop design to suit my aircraft but
needs some information which I don't have and wondered if you guys could
help. I used to cruise around at 145Kts at 75% power. However, the
prop designer wants to know the theoretical max straight and level speed
for the aircraft at full throttle. Anyone have any figures to hand for
a TR-1 with an IO-240?
I'll be selling the old VP prop if anyone is interested, it's got 360
hours since new but will need calendar overhaul.
John
