I have to replace my prop on my 160hp RV3.
I would still prefer to the fixed pitch. I am replacing a Warnke 72X74 that seems to good in both climb and cruise.
Any thoughts on:
Sterba, MT, Catto or metal and recommend diameter / pitch.

Also, if someone has one sitting around as a result of an upgrade, I would be interested as well.

Thanks,
Wells

Catto for RV3

Craig suggested a 70/72 for RV3B 160HP. The logic was more than ample climb performance with efficient cruise .

I'll "third" the recomendation for Craig Catto - while I wouldn't trade the Whirlwind on our -3 for anything, I'll admit it is way more than a tad bit expensive....the prop that Craig built for the RV-1 was great, and I enjoyed flying behind it.
