Talked to Craig today and the 3 blade prop for my RV-7A, O-360 will be built next month. Need to get the spinner and tip paint to him by the end of the month. My plane is being painted in House of Kolor Kandy Apple Red and Craig is going to paint the tips with the same HOK Kandy Apple Red.
He said that my prop would be one of the new design props. He has tweaked the design so it gives better climb performance while not giving up anything in cruise. The new design has slightly less pitch but wider blades. He says that it will beat Van's numbers.
Can't wait. Prop was ordered Feb.7, 2007 and should ship next month. I told him when I ordered it that I didn't need it until December so he will be right on schedule.
