DIGEST - Prince Prop
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:22 am
Make that 28. I will be putting a Prince on my O-320. Lonnie recommended
74 X 44 for a cruise configuration on wheels.

Hi Alvin !
To date, there are at least 27 Rebels flying with Prince props.
I think Dale went to a finer prop recently ..... have another run
through the archives.
In any case, just ask Lonny Prince what pitch he recommends -
there are enough out there now. If it isn't right, he will swap
it for whatever you decide - a VERY good company to deal with !!

Definitely not too fine. I purchased the exact same propeller last Sept
and
had a chance to put a few hours on it. I have a murphy rebel on float
with
a Lycoming 0-320/150. The plane performs well and I get about 2400-2450
on
climb-out and about 100-105 on cruise. The real performance test will be
next summer when its hot and I want to get off the water quickly, which is
my highest priority. I think the 44 pitch propeller would have been too
coarse for my airplane.
