Does anyone have any experience with Warp Drive props on RVs?
What I have in mind is 3 high HP blades in front of an O320. Warp Drive sells a spinner to match RV cowls, but I have never heard or read anything about anyone who has actually done this.
What I am trying to accomplish is getting my RV-8 in the air for minimal $. The ground adjustable pitch seems like a nice feature.
What I do not want is a death wish. Is there any information about vibration testing these props on various engines at various pitch settings? I am talking about the same kind of harmonics that caused Sensenich to limit their O320 aluminum prop to 2600 rpm.
Also, somebody told me something once about a flixible composite prop that acts sorta like a flex fan. It supposedly gives a partial effect of having a constant speed prop in a fixed pitch? Does anybody know anything about this? I have been unable to come up with anything on my internet searches.
