Hi All,
This information is specifically applicable to the Lycoming 360
non-counterweighted crankshaft engines.
Van's Aircraft sells 72" and 74" diameter 2 blade CS Hartzell
propellers.
The aluminum 2 blade CS MT propeller (MTV-15-B/183-402) has a 72"
diameter.
In the case of blade damage, the Hartzell minimum blade diameter is
72".
(So don't damage your 72" dia. Hartzell.) In the case of blade damage,
the MTV-15-B/183-402 minimum blade diameter is 68".
On a stock Lyc. 360 engine;
The Hartzell /F766xxx propeller has a RPM restriction between 2000 to
2250 RPM for continuous operation.
The Hartzell /F7496( ) propeller does not have RPM restrictions for the
180 hp Lyc. On the 200 hp Lyc., this propeller has a RPM restriction
between 2000 to 2250 RPM for continuous operation.
The MTV-15-B/183-402 does not have RPM restrictions.
On an aftermarket electronic ignition, LASAR system, or FADEC system
equipped Lyc. 360 engine; The Hartzell /F766xxx propeller has a RPM
restriction between 2000 to 2250 RPM for continuous operation and a
maximum continuous operating limitation of
2600 RPM.
The Hartzell /F7496( ) propeller cannot be operated above 22" MP below
2350 RPM. There is a maximum continuous operating limitation of 2600
RPM. The maximum takeoff RPM is limited to 2650 RPM for FADEC equipped
engines.
The MTV-15-B/183-402 does not have RPM restrictions.
For a Lyc. 360 engine with high compression pistons and an aftermarket
electronic ignition, LASAR system, or FADEC system; Hartzell recommends
that you do not use their propeller.
The MTV-15-B/183-402 does not have RPM restrictions.
Van sells the aluminum 2 blade CS Hartzell 72" dia. /F766xxx propellers
for $5,420, and the /F7496( ) propellers for $5,650. The spinner costs
extra, the rear bulkhead has to be trimmed to fit the hub and the
spinner dome has to
be fitted to the propeller blades.
Less Drag Products, Inc, MT Propeller USA, Inc. and MT Propeller sell
the aluminum 2 blade CS MT 72" dia. propeller for $6,399. The bulkheads
are mounted on the propeller hub with a painted (or primed) spinner dome
ready to be
screwed on. Basically, the propeller/spinner assembly comes ready to
bolt onto
your engine with a 1/4" spinner clearance to the cowl.
The bottom line:
If you are putting together an RV with a stock Lyc. 360 engine, the 72"
dia.
2 blade Hartzell can make a great package.
If your RV Lyc. 360 engine is a stock 200 hp, or has a little extra
something, then consider the MTV-15-B/183-402 propeller.

Hi Greg, I drilled a hole in the left side of my roll bar and through my canopy
skirt at a point with the canopy 5 inches above the canopy rail. I also riveted
a doubler plate of .020 around the hole in the skirt. I put a nautilus weight
pin through the roll bar with a cotter key and washer in the other end so
it can slide in and out through the hole in the skirt.
It holds my canopy open very well and the support at mid point is much stronger
than other methods I have seen. I can send you a picture if you need one...

Hey rob.....I would like to see that, I would take a picture if you have one
to e-mail. My -4 came with a nasty little piece of wood that the front pin
slips
into. I thought there had to be a better way :)
