I have a RV-4 that I purchased a few years ago...has a IO-360, inverted oil, Vetterman exhaust, fluid balancer, old style cowl, and a Berne Warneke wood prop...I developed a small trailing edge crack in the prop that I found when I removed it to refinish the clear coat. I called a prop guy in California and am repairing/refinishing, but thinking about getting another prop. The Berne is stamped 68 X 76...a couple of people I have talked to can't believe these numbers...I measured the length and it is 68" long. Does anyone have experience in this area? Is this an uncommon setup? What is recommended length and pitch for my setup/flying? I do some aerobatic flying with it, but not competition...cruise flight probably more important to me for performance. How about the fluid balancer? Good thing or no??
