Looking for some reviews and performance numbers from the Sensenich 72FM prop in the 80-88 inch pitch range. This is the prop used with the 0-360 engine. Have been looking at the options and think a good compromise is a fixed pitch metal prop. Would like some performance numbers from fliers out there and also a brief summary of maintenance needed.
I know VAN's recomends the 85 inch pitch for the 0-360 on a RV-8. This is what I am planning on going with unless others have different reviews. Saw one builder with a -8 that was using a 88 inch pitch. Would like to know the top cruise speed on that machine and also the Take off RPM, I am sure it must be fairly low.
