I have been running a 69" with 3 standard shaped blades on my 582 in
Kitfox for several years. In fact, this is the 2nd engine the prop has
been mounted on. I find it works great except that the mass moment
forces a high idle speed to reduce vibration.

All,
Donny, one of the locals, suggested that I was over-propped and
that was why my performance was off. (I'm running a 70" Warp 3-blade on
my
Rotax 582 with a 3:1 "C" box.) He suggested I go to two blades, or
change
the ratio to 3.47:1. Toward that end, I'm looking to see if anyone has a
Warp two blade hub or some 3.47:1 "C" box gears that I might
beg/borrow/buy.
Thanks,
Guy Buchanan

Not sure what aircraft you're using this on, but by way of comparison I
have
seen a 72" 3-blade Warp Drive used with 582 and C-box (3:1) on an Avid
Speedwind. It worked well.
The difference may have been in the backtaper on hte blades, which was
fairly extreme such that the chord length at hte tip was only about 1".
However, Warp Drive themselves set this up. So it might be worthwhile
asking
them.
Duncan McF.

Stan. What tip angle are you using? What are your wide-open and cruise
speeds? What is your climb rate? What model Kitfox is it?
