Yes
Yes, some of us have. You should search the forum on this. They are good props.

There are two RV-4 flying in Switzerland with Prince Props: HB-YMZ, HB-YKA both use a O-320-D1A engine.

About 55 hours on one now in an RV-9. It came with the engine (bought used) so didn't really choose it. Seems to be a very good match for the airframe and engine. Like it. Thumbs up.

Prince Props
I?m running a Prince prop on my RV-4 and really like it. We?ve done some extremely unscientific side-by-side comparisons in formation with an equally equipped RV-4 with a FP Sensenich metal prop and there seems to be very little performance differences between the two. The Prince is definitely smoother than the metal prop.
I would certainly buy another one. Lonnie Prince has been a great guy to deal with too !!

I have had a prince prop for a few years. Very smooth and had no problems except that rain erodes the leading edge. I just can not pull the throttle back when I run through some rain. I do have leading edge protectors on it. I sent it back in to Lonnie and he replaced the leading edge protectors, and repainted the prop and it looks like new again. I have since converted to constant speed prop which has increased my climb but the top end speed is the same. I have the propeller for sale if interested. It is for a 360 lycoming. New price $2000. I just paid $500 last summer for the re-condition. I'll sell it for $1000.

Good deal, but it's for a Lyc 0-235 in a -9.
Jeff, what motor is in yours? |
