| Subject: | Propeller Group Buy? |
--> RV3-List message posted by: LessDragProd@aol.com
Hi All,
Is there a group of RV-3 owners/builders that are interested in an MT 2 blade
electric CS propeller?
This would be a 70" dia propeller. Instead of Van's 72" dia. MT Propeller.
I'm not sure how practical group buy would be. The first RV-3 I've checked
has a 12" dia. spinner with a 3 7/8" distance from the front of the cowl ring
to the propeller hub mounting surface on the ring gear.
I don't believe the cowl installation was very consistent on the RV-3. I
remember there being 3 different styles of cowls, before they were "standardized".
I talked to Van's about the RV-7 and RV-8 cowl installation (newer cowls),
and was told the cowl is mounted to the propeller spinner.
And the people on the list recommend that you don't use the propeller to
mount the cowl. Go figure.
I would appreciate knowing what some of your RV-3 spinner diameter and cowl
distances are, if you have the time to measure this.
(The older RV-3 had a 12" spinner, and I believe the new RV-3's have 13"
spinners.)
