What engine are most thinking of using? I'm leaning towards an 0-360 180hp
fixed pitch.
Seems to me the extra 20hp (over the recommended 160hp) will make up for not
having a CS prop on climb.

I am probably going with a 160 HP 0-320 and a constant speed prop
because of landing at my farm which is only 1200 feet long.

Superior Engines has a paper on using the 0-360 on the 9. If I remember
correctly they are saying restrict power on take off, but have it available
at altitude. Might check their web site. I am really considering it.

Wayne,
Just bought a 160 hp O-320 780 hours TTSN out of an RV-6A trashed by
Hurricane Charlie. Leaning toward a three blade Catto prop in cruise
configuration (66" diameter X 70" pitch by their way of measurement.)
Catto seems to be a good compromise for my flying, and all props, even CS,
are compromises. Light weight, quieter than two blade, not too expensive,
and with proven performance. Hope it works out as well as the theory!
Good luck on your choice!

I think I would talk to Van's before going with a bigger engine. I have a
150 HP 0-320 and it will drag me along 190 MPH, gross loaded. The 0-360 must
weigh more and would complicate weight and balance. It would seem easy to over
stress the air frame and just really what are the advantages?

Dennis, It is only 8 lbs more but will come in handy in my high DA
environment. I spoke with a Vans engineer at OSH who told me it would work
fine, as long as you don't exceed Vne or redline. That was off the record
of course. I will probably go with the ECI O-360. Glenn in AZ. -9 Fuse.

Hi there:
Ive received an e-mail from Sensenich about a vibration coupling between an O-320,
9:1
high compression pistons Aerosport engine and a 70" x 82" Sensenich prop.
Does anyone has some info about it?
Thanks in advance

Wayne,
I am going that route also. By having pitch of the prop set for
cruise, you should not get over 2500 rpm on take off (less than 160 hp)
and when you get up to alt. the extra 20 hp will get us on our way. This
is from the Mahlon (sp) at Mattituck. I have it heard that this makes
our bird a "Super 9" :-))))
