I'm building a 9 and plan on some o-320 variant in the 150 hp range, roughly.
I also happen to have two sensenich props off of a widgeon. They were removed along with the 200hp Ranger engines when it was converted to Lycoming power back in the day. I don't have the logs for the props though I can document the history by other sources.
The hubs are splined and look real big for a o-320 and I bet the pitch is too low since the widgeon is not that fast.
So I really doubt there is any straighforward way to bolt one of these onto a RV-9, but the question is more this; Is there a shop that could use the materials (birch, I think, and stainless l.e.?) to make a prop for my airplane? I understand this may not be the most economical method, but I have some sentimental attachment to the props.
