It is made of wood, covered with glass fibre. Now you can get them covered with carbon fibre I think.

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? John John 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.

Tim Yoder" Subject: Re: KIS-List: VMax - KIS TR-1 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 ----- Original Message ----- From: JOHN JACKSON To: kis-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2011 7:28 AM Subject: KIS-List: VMax - KIS TR-1 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.
