Warnke prop
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 8:48 pm
Someone asked me about my Warnke prop a few days ago. Its length is 70" and
the pitch is 46-56". Margie Warnke says that this prop changes pitch with
speed, hence the "almost constant speed" nickname.
I bought it because I like its appearance - about 60 laminations. It seems
smooth and performs about as well as my Ivo Magnum.
Regarding Warp Drive prop: I read in Contact magazine that two different
people flying 4-cylinder VW's experienced bad vibration and one had his
crankshaft break. They did not bad-mouth the Warp prop but they wondered if
the 3-blade composite Warp prop was causing a resonance with their VW
engines.
