I had one on my 180hp RV6 for 1400hrs. Great prop, smooth and good performance. Sensenich is a good company to do business with too.

Default Sensenich Wood prop on RV

I have a Sensenich on my IO-360 Continental. Runs smooth. Have a few thousand miles on it. .....

I ran a Sensenich wood on my -6 before I got my Catto. The Sensenich is a great prop. The only problem I had with it is because of the wide blade plan form, it loads up considerably at the lower altitudes. I only got 2050 rpm static. It still pulls great even at the lower rpm. It is fantastic at altitude. I still have it for back up in case I ever need maintenance on the Catto.
