Mine has a fixed pitch Sensenich propeller and a 160 HP Lycoming O-320 engine. As for a parking brake, I have none in my RV-6. I would find one useful when undertaking power checks prior to take-off. Which in your opinion would be best and easiest to install? Thanks.

I have no experience with the Andair type.
