Does anyone have any experience with a Power Fin props? Their web site
list a three blade with hub and all hardware at about 9 3/4#. Ivo and Warp
Drive are about 14# to 15#.

I was thinking of getting a cover for my almost done project.
Has anyone used the Bruce's covers? My project uses the new style 701 cowl.
Thanks,

No direct experience with the 701 cover but I have one for the 601XL. Good
features and quality but heavy. QSP sells them but I don't know if they have
ever held one in their hands. You might ping Doug Dugger.
For a 701 cover Bruce's may be the only game in town.
Aviation Consumer just did a general review and liked them.

Not to be argumentative, but the Powerfin props CAN be trimmed to length
in the field. I have a two-blade, 70" and the directions to shorten it
were either included with it or available on their website. It's a
delicate procedure, but it can be done.
Just sayin'.

Hi Sam,
I fly a kolb, not a zenith but I do use a powerfin prop. Its a 64in. 3
blade pusher.
I use a 60hp HKS engine. The Powerfin does a great job for me. Its
light weight
(low moment of inertia) , its stiffer so it doesan't flex as much as
some of the others.
It's really easy to adjust the pitch.I suppose one drawback is that the
length can't be
trimed in the field--it's hollow with a foam filled core--however the
factory can trim to
whatever length you want. Iwould bur another one. Hope this helps.
