Sensenich Metal Prop users:
I have a 72FM85 (72 length x 85 pitch) metal prop for parallel valve 0-360.
I installed the prop a while back to solve what turned out to be a problem
with the FI system. When the prop didn't fix the problem I did more testing
and static running with it to finally figure it out. I discovered that at
full throttle (ground run) the tach showed only 2100 RPM. I didn't get a
chance to fly with that prop because it was recalled before the FI system
was fixed and I had to take it off the airplane. I've been flying with my
Sterba wood prop which gives 2300 RPM static and 2550 RPM full power at 1000
MSL (level flight).
I want to reinstall the Sensenich prop but am thinking that 2100 max RPM at
takeoff is a little low. Van's catalog listed this prop as the ONLY one they
recommended for the 0-360 engine. The Sensenich website lists two other
(0-360) props (83 and 81 pitch) and if my Sterba is any indication, I
probably should have at least went with the 83 pitch instead of the 85.
I know there are a lot of these props out in the RV community...those of you
that have them on 180HP O-360s:
Are you getting this low of RPM on takeoff (2100 static)?
What kind of takeoff distances are you seeing (light and fully loaded)?
Does the RPM pick up quickly as the plane starts moving on the runway?
By the time your at the end of the takeoff roll does the RPM exceed 2100?
Will there be any harm done to the engine running full throttle at 600RPM
below rated power RPM (detonation, overheating, etc, low power is a given)?
How many of you with the 85 inch pitch props have gotten them re-pitched?
Would you have gone with 83 or 81 inch pitch if you'd known ahead of time?
Is anyone using the 83 or 81 pitch version and what is your experience with
those?
Thanks.
