Roger,
Very well said. And heck I am not happy with some of the Rotax prices but I will
say that Rotax parts do seem to perform well overall.
The rebuilt cranks always come back for a new rotax crank,
the cheap plugs get swapped out every 10 to 20 hours -- the rest of us go 100 to
150 hours.
See how long a sno mo 40 $ piston last running at 6000 rpm but the Rotax ones
cost 240 $ but seem to make it.
etc etc etc
same as oils, I have just under 10 regulars at my strip with Rotax 2 strokes
and in 10,000 hours of flying in last 10 years no one uses pennzoil or synthetics
but we all use castrol super 2 stroke, Bombardier oil or Shell Advance. We
all use Regular grade gas- with (ethanol in the last 3 years) And I am happy
to say that no Forced approaches from engine failures have happened with us.
We have had 2 prop failures only and now most guys use safety cables.
btw - Nothing wrong with pennzoil it just not readily availble to us .

| Subject: | Sensenich propeller |
I recently talked to a friend of mine who is the Southeast distributor for
the Paradise LSA.He told me that during one of his expos demonstrating the
aircraft that excellent results have been reported on other aircraft by using
the Sensenich composite ground adjustable propeller. He said, as an
example, that the maker of the Apollo Fox was reporting a 10-15 mph increase in
cruise speed with no other changes and it was very smooth running.
I had looked at this prop at Sebring and Lakeland and had wondered about
it. You adjust the pitch by one screw on the nose which would sure be easier
than my Warp.
My friend said they were going to put the Sensenich on the Paradise and
try it out.
Has anyone tried this prop on a Kitfox ? The Apollo Fox is pretty much a
clone so if it works on it, it should do the same for us.
I know that reported performance figures are often "baloney" but I thought
I would just throw this out there. In any case I will let the group know
the results if and when they test this prop on the Paradise. If it does give
good results then it will be EBAY for my Warp (which has been a very good
prop)

Dick,
We are a distributor for Sensenich and Whirlwind and I can
tell you first hand that the 2 blade prop will have a vibration that you
will not be happy with. We have tried both at length.. We now have a 3
blade Whirlwind on our S-LSA and have e new 3 blade Sensenich we are
testing.
Fly Safe !!

Dick, I don't have a Sensenich, but I can offer my opinion about the
10-15 mph airspeed increase over the Warp. The word you used "Baloney"
says it all.
A small difference could be believable, but that is more than I can
swallow. Probably best to find someone who doesn't have anything to
gain to obtain an opinion about it.
