Wanted info on RV-9 with lyc 0235 what are the prop options
ThanksL D, welcome to VAF
I would suggest you contact Catto Propeller. http://www.cattoprops.com/
Very popular on RV's
Thanks for the prop options, has anyone used either on a9 with the 235?
BillThere was a -9A in Hickory, NC with a 108 hp O-235 and it performed well.
I had a Catto on my O-290 and it was great!
With your small engine, do everything you can to "build lightness in", including using a Catto prop.
My -9 was 990 lbs for its first flight. (It has since gained a few pounds, as have I.)
Check out the engine page of my website for some of the issues you might run across.

I have been reading your build site with great pleasure until the net stopped workit later. ng lol
It's great you took so much time and sheared with others.
Had a question on the mechanal fuel pump as your type overlapped and was no readable. What internal part runs the pump (the cam) and why didn't you get the Nas car buddy to just machine your housing?
BTW most of our fam still lives in nc, I ran a turbine aircraft engine repair facility in clt and later moved it to Stanly county airport, I serviced many of the teams king air fleets but know little of these little piston engines.
I will continue to read your site.
Thanks
Yes mine will be a tail dragon as well
