Hi Folks
I need to pick some brains on propellers.
What we have now is an RV6 with an empty weight of 1001lbs
160hp 0320 with about 200hr since rebuild.
Prop is a 70X68 wooden made by Chris Lodge
Performance under ISA conditions at sea level
Max static RPM 2650 rising to the limit on T/O
cruise with 2450 RPM set is 110kts (125mph) at 2000ft
Rate of climb From Sea level to 2000ft under ISA conditions is 800ft/min at MTOW.
It would seem that the prop is too fine but as the a/c does not get off the ground particularly well I dont know.
Does anyone have any suggestions
Thanks
