I understand that there may be a few -14As flying with the new 300-72 prop. WW has now approved this prop up to 220HP which makes it an option.
RV-14 owners flying this prop, Please share you experience . . .
Besides the challenges of cowl removal (which i had on my 3 bladed -9A), how did you deal with the W&B. This prop is 36lbs - the Hartzells are 42lbs (composite) & 54lbs (metal). That is a huge difference in weight on the nose. Did you add weight firewall forward? Are you limited in baggage capacity? Kind of defeats the one of the advantages of the -14.
Thanks
