Yes, Wayne, that was our mutual friend Ron B's prop on his
Supercub here. I still haven't tried it, but the offer is still
open to me. My problem was that it didn't have a spacer which
would be needed with my cowl. However, if he buys that Rebel he
is after, he can try it himself.
Bruce, I'm still happy with my 74 X 54, and if I did it again,
would stick with that same pitch. I turn about 2720 flat out, so
am not wasting hp at the top end either. I understand the
Lycoming torque drops off at higher RPM's.
On the other hand, if you're tired of always looking up at my
tail after we take-off, you might want to go for 52. Not sure if
you will be able to keep up with me then on cruise, though. ;>)))
I would do something about that cowl, too, Bruce. Keep in mind
when you pitch your prop down, you will be producing more hp on
your climbs than before, and therefore more heat.
Walter

That's a "borer" prop Bruce...don't go there if you
want to go anywhere! You
might get take off performance...but you sure won't
get any cruise. I think
it was Walter that was going to borrow someones to try
at one time I
believe. Wayne

I just read an article in Kitplane magazine about a
guy who put a McCauley
84 x 44 on an 0320 150 hp North Star. According to
the article it is
supposed
to be a match for this engine.
