I have a TR1 with a lyc 0320 and fly out of Saint Johns (KSJN) AZ. Rob On 8/14/2011 12:21 PM, F. Tim Yoder wrote: 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.

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.

If it were me I would pull the cylinders-and have the heads ported and in stall 10:1 compression pistons.-- You would end up with 185-190 HP peak and the engine would be significantly more efficient at cruise power.- =0A-=0AScott=0A=0AFrom: "tmclam@comcast.net" =0ATo: k is list =0ASent: Monday, August 15, 2011 8:36 AM=0A Subject: KIS-List: DErating a 0 320?=0A=0A=0AWith avgas racing to $10/gal , i wonder if pulling- a big Facet carb mess[Heat box,orange hose,mixture c ontrol,etc.] off a Lyc.-O 320-and replacing it wih something like the S onex 120- HP Aerocarb/Aerojet throttle body device and happily cruising a t 135 IAS.Saving $20-$30/Hr would suit me fine. =0AAre there any Farmers ou t there that have tried this?Have at it guys.Knowing fuel prices will climb ,yet i am amazed how fast it reached-$7-in many areas. =0A---- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ---- To a cleaner lower cowl area =0A---------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kis-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/KIS-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kis-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kis-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
