I got the same prop in a 74 x 74 for an O-360 RV6 under construction. Great to see such stunning performance data. I'm a little concerned with the length of my prop. Van's recommends 72 inch max for -6. Is anybody else running 74 inch prop on a taildragger? Any clearance concerns?

Smokey,

Did you flight test the Grey two blade with the red tips that I now have for Catto? I've been very impressed with this prop! Climbs like a sick angel and the top speed is very close to where I want to be.

Van's sells a 74" CS for the RV's, so I elected to go with 74" FP for my -9 TD. Then again, the -9 has the longest gear of all the tail draggers.

Word from one of the racers is that the metal leading edge costs 3 m/h at race speed(balls to the wall)

That prop looks fast just sitting there... If only it was a CS.
