0-320 Information

Walter Klatt · Post by **Walter Klatt** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:56 pm

If it's going to be on wheels, you'll want nothing
smaller than a 74 X 56, for an 0320, trust me. You may
want the 74 X 58 for the 160 hp version if you don't
want to over rev it at straight and level full
throttle. You may have a problem with VNE, though.
Don't know that, though, as mine wouldn't go quite that
fast.

58" will be too fine ?!? .... this is the
highest pitch I've been
advised of yet...

Murphy say 72 X 52 ... (and that's for BOTH
the 0-235 & the 0-320)

Most owners say 74 X 54 or 56 .... and now 58" ...

It WAS making sense a few e-mails back ....
but it's getting a bit
screwy now !?!

Any other takers on a Diameter & Pitch for
an 0-320 in a Rebel ?

Hi There

You will be able to hit 128 mph all right,
but the rpm will be high.
The
pitch is too fine & you will have to be
careful not to overrev.

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)

Rick Harper

Brian, I assume you are still talking 74 inch diameter.
If so, you've definitely got a strong 0320. What are
you feeding that thing?

BTW, when I switched from Warp to Sensenich, I too,
lost a slight bit of performance in climb, not
take-off, though, and I'm starting to think that my
water take-offs are actually a little better than the
Warp. Maybe it's just the colder winter air, but they
seem to be faster. Or maybe I'm getting better at
nailing the sweet spot.

Hi Bruce

I meant to comment on this some time ago but
was in a bit of a
funk/confusion on the performance of the
aircraft. I had it painted, wheel
pants put on & the prop changed all at one
time. The engine so easily
overreved, I could not believe it. Air
speed was abysmal with the 58" prop.

The biggest source of the problem was that
the pitot tube line was
cracked. At the floor, I had a plastic tee
fitted which I would use to
drain water. (No water ever appeared). The
crack was just enough to
'bleed' off any airspeed. This was the
worst time for it to happen as it
happened in the paint shop. (This is not a
shot at the people who did the
job, just a very unfortunate coincidence).
It would have been fine if it
had happened some time later after I was
used to the new setup. But,
that's life. It was a shock to see such low
airspeeds & an engine that
would overspeed without any effort.

Anyway, sometime later, I took off at CNC3
with my wife aboard. This time,
the airspeed all of a sudden showed zero.
Bit of a funny feeling taking
off with your beloved aboard & showing no
airspeed at about 800 feet over
the runway. That is when you are thankful
that you are flying such a great
airplane. You knew instinctively everything
was fine as the stick feedback
is so good. Just dropped back into the
circuit & landed. It took about 60
seconds to find the problem & another 60
seconds to fix. Amazing increase
in performance after that!

However, the cruise was still several knots
slower than the Warp Drive. I
really liked that prop. I repitched the
prop to 60" to get some similarity
in cruise. Climb is still reasonable. I
will have to recheck the numbers
again. It is very temperature dependent but
somewhere in the vicinity of
1500 fpm solo I think. That is way more
than I need just wheel flying. I
like the prop as I know it will know fail on
me but I loved the performance
& weight advantage of the Warp Drive.
Flying is all about compromises is
it not!

Hi Rick, I think Brian has his numbers mixed.-Flying a little high lately
Brian? To clarify, the higher the pitch number, the courser the pitch. In
theory the "58" is the distance the prop advances forward on one
revolution.( of course anything attached to it goes to) Jump in any time
Wayne O. Bob J- Rebel "652"-Flying-and today was especially beautiful, calm
and clear. I also discovered today, that at 3,000 ft, full flap, 1500 RPM, I
can chug around at 35 MPH. What a great and fun airplane.

Hi Rick

I can understand you slamming me for my comments but I have the flight
experience to show for it. When I replaced my Warp Drive with the
Sensenich pitched at 58", I was very dissappointed in the drop in
performance. I went to 60" & it still could go up in pitch. And yes, I
cross checked my electronic tach with a RevTach. It was within about 5
rpm. At 58", I overrevved so easily it was not funny. I put wheel pants
on at the same time & the performance drop was startling. Now at 60" the
speed is OK, but, there is still a drop. Sensenich recommended I go from
62-63". I have not done so but wanted to give it some time first of all.

I liked the Warp Drive prop but did not like the cracking in the prop
roots. 58" would be fine if you want to max climb at the expense of
cruise. You will have to be careful about using full throttle though. All
prop numbers i.e. pitch was verified by Hope Aero. This is why I was quite
unhappy with the airplane when I made the change. (Too many things at once
in hind sight).

Hi Walter

Yes I am talking about the 74" prop. As I said, I like the prop from the
point that I do not have to worry about failure etc., but I have lost speed
& gained significant weight on the nose - the very reason I chose the Warp
Drive over anything else in the first place.

BTW, the Sensenich people were very good to deal with on this issue & I
don't mean to bad mouth them at all. I am also sure that the Warp Drive is
a good prop but not for this application with using the harmonic balancer
which simply adds the weight that nobody wants.

prop to 60" to get some similarity
in cruise. Climb is still reasonable. I
will have to recheck the numbers
again. It is very temperature dependent but
somewhere in the vicinity of
1500 fpm solo I think. That is way more
than I need just wheel flying. I
like the prop as I know it will know fail on
me but I loved the performance
& weight advantage of the Warp Drive.
Flying is all about compromises is
it not!

Hi Brian,

I'm surprised you have so coarse a pitch on
your Sensenich (60"). I have a
74x56 0320 E2D 150 HP and fly out of mostly
unimproved strips. I would not
want a coarser prop for the climb would
suffer. I still get, plus or minus,
123 MPH cruise at 75% power and am happy
with that. I would not want a
coarser prop for the kind of flying I do
but I guess it all depends on what
kind of flying a fellow has in mind.

What rate of climb do you have now on the
58"? 62-63 inches of pitch would
make your bird fast but I have to believe
it would climb like a sick puppy. I
remember you were disappointed with your
prop when you switched out the Warp
Drive. Was the performance on the Warp
Drive that much better than the
Sensenich?

You should get a catalog from them. They have many different types and
prices. They are also significantly cheaper on standard AN fittings.
Example for ano-32 would be a 19 row, wide with An-10 fittings. Earls part
number 41810ERL. You can check them out on the web at www.earlsindy.com

G'day George !

OK ... when I ring "Earls" .... WHAT do I tell 'em I'm after ? (as
in Brand , Part description / Model etc ?)

Can you give me the name & number of the cooler you have ... would this
do for an 0-320 in a sometimes BLOODY HOT climate ?

Hey guys, we regularly use the race car oil radiators in experimental
aircraft. They are considerably cheaper than the aircraft units. Try
Earls
at 310-900-0433. They also have An fittings at lower prices than
Aircraft
Spruce. They also they also have the nice stainless steel braded line
and
fittings that you see on the custom aircraft.

58" will be too fine ?!? .... this is the highest pitch I've been
advised of yet...

Murphy say 72 X 52 ... (and that's for BOTH the 0-235 & the 0-320)

Most owners say 74 X 54 or 56 .... and now 58" ...

It WAS making sense a few e-mails back .... but it's getting a bit
screwy now !?!

Any other takers on a Diameter & Pitch for an 0-320 in a Rebel ?

Hi There

You will be able to hit 128 mph all right, but the rpm will be high.
The
pitch is too fine & you will have to be careful not to overrev.

Hello Rick:

One

rebel owner said he cruises at 128 mph. and his climb is good. 160

hp.

Good luck

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)

Rick Harper
