Hi there,
Building an RV-8, ECI Titan IOX-360 (8,5:1), Superior cold air sump, Vetterman 4 into 2 exhaust. Will be operated mostly in and out of grass strips in europe.
The engine was not on the dyno yet, but i suppose it will put out something in the neighbourhood of 190hp.
All the years I planned on using a Sensenich aluminum prop with 86" pitch as the 85" pitch prop is designed for 180hp.
Official prop limits from sensenich is 180hp max for their aluminum props, the ground adjustable is tested for up to 200hp.
I am just curious about the durability of the composite blades on grass strips and/or rain.
Any experience/thoughts/recommendations to be shared are highly appreciated!
Thanks!
