Propeller Recommendations

Post by Flyfisher » Tue Oct 18, 2016 3:46 am

I am a new owner of an Elite purchased installed on Clamar amphib floats with tricycle gear included in purchase. I am looking for a recommendation on a prop to replace current 81" McCauley installed by previous owner which provides plenty of thrust for operation on floats but leaves only 4" of ground clearance when on factory tricycle gear. One prop for year round use on floats or tricycle gear would be preferred but willing to remount 81" McCauley prop each season when on floats. Prince p-tip? Senenich? Hartzell? Ground adjustable??

Thanks Tom. Are you on floats or ground gear (if ground gear I assume tail dragger Rebel?) What is your engine and which Prince prop did you install? Wood? Carbon fiber? Size?
