[rebel-builders] metal, wood, or composite prop

Post by Rebflyer » Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:29 pm

Hi Chris,
I have flown with a Warp drive 3 and 4 blade and am now flying with a
Catto 3 blade that I love. A lot of others are flying the Prince prop.
I have not experienced any flat spot with any of them. The Warp just
didn't like the 4 cyl Lycomings at low idle speeds due to the style of
construction, but that was the prop, no effect on engine performance.
I really like the fact that my Catto weighs 13 lbs.
Sort of thinking out loud (or with letters,), how much time does anyone
spend at that rpm? Maybe on decent for landing, but throttle response is
immediate, on take off the only time I've had a slight stumble is when I
should have leaned a little for density altitude, but 10 sec later I'm airborne
off water, I guess I'm curious where this thought even came from.
Playing with race cars a lighter flywheel gave much quicker rpm.
Guess I'm just rambling
Curt N97MR

What kind of Lycoming engine and does the performance compare with
That of a Sensenich prop?

Does any one know the model number of Prince prop to fit Lycoming O-320 D2A engine on Rebel?

JAY: Best way is to go to their website at
http://www.princeaircraft.com/ContactUs.aspx and/or e-mail Lonnie Prince at
info@PrinceAircraft.com and ask him to quote you a size and price for a prop
for your Rebel with your engine.

Hope this helps

[rebel-builders] metal, wood, or composite prop

Post by rebflyer » Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:29 pm

Gary,

? My Rebel is an 0-320A2B 150 hp powered with one Electric ignition, one mag. I have no idea about a ?Sensenich prop, but I'm faster out of the water than my friends Prince powered Rebel, and I cruise about the same speed.
