Hey guys, at risk of starting another thread, this may actually be informative for existing AND builders who have yet to buy a prop.
there are 100 threads on props, but I'd like to see if someone can share their research on this.
for example: If someone has a 150 hp Lyc., and wanted a prop for a -7, what were the choices?
fixed pitch:
hartzell wood $2000
sense wood $1100
Prince wood/comp $2000
Sense metal $2500
Hatzell metal $3000
ground adjustable:
Ivo $3000
Whirlwind $5000
you get the drift....
personally i have a Sense fixed, and love the low maintenance and long TBO, but of course, wonder if I had one inch less pitch if it would spin up better and give me more overall performance!
there.....I've kicked the nest...let's see what comes out!
