0-320 Information, Props
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:56 pm
Hi Rick
Sorry to hear about your engine problems, sounds like you are bouncing back
strongly, keep the spirit up! Just to let you know, the short hops Francine &
I took with you back in November still have us pumped to work on our project -
thanks again, it is worth it!
On the prop, do you have any dismantlers or for that matter R&O shops nearby
would sell you "a" prop and let you try a couple until you are satisfied with
your choice? I would think that a lad like yourself with the gift of gab you
have would be able to convince them that it was in their best interests to work
with you especially with other Rebel projects in the works (Hi Greg!). You
could tell them you will write it up in the SAAA magazine & give them a
mention?
What about getting in contact with Sensenich after gathering the consensus of
this group and bouncing it off them? They may be able to give you more then
the two options in their database.
Cheers,
Dave R.

--G'day from "Below" guys !
Rebel 541R suffered a major bearing failure whilst flying back from
another state on Sunday morning :-(
Dropped my wife off at a nearby airport ... and limped home on very
reduced power ... stripped engine out & down , & it's not pretty inside
:-( :-(
Centre main crank bearing separated the white metal from the shell (I've
heard on the grapevine, that this has happened "a bit" of late)
Started the process of rebuilding .... nothing a lot of money can't fix
:-(
I'll get it back in the air in a month or so .... and then sell the
engine as a running item "test in plane" kind of thing.
I'm talking to Bart Lalonde of Canada fame , he's doing me a short 0-320
E2D ...... can someone tell me the preferred propeller for a Rebel on
wheels with a 150 or 160 HP engine. (not sure what HP we'll end up
making it as yet) .... plus twin LSE ignitions and a crossover exhaust
system will sparkle it's performance up as well)
Jim Stonier's Rebel has a Sensienich 74 X 56" pitch ... and cruises at
110 KNOTS at 2400 RPM ..... is this a "normal" result with 150 HP ? -
(which is what Jim has )
Can anyone recommend an oil cooler (aftermarket) which is good enough to
keep the 0-320 cool in a Rebel ?
I'd also really like to know what INLET air area and total OUTLET area
- air ducts people are running for an 0-320 ... ?
Thanks all
"Grounded" .... again (for now)
