I have been recommended by a fellow Aussie RV builder to consider ordering the finishing kit as part of my whole RV-8 order to save on shipping. Now ignoring the merits of this suggestion, I have a few questions regarding propellors, cowlings and extensions.
I would like to go for the James Cowl which apparently requires a 4" extension or an extended hub on an RV-8. What does this represent in terms of hub to blade centre offset - as appears to be measured by MT in their drawings? (e.g. http://www.mt-propeller.com/pdf/datsheet/mtv-12.pdf) What hub length would need to be ordered?
Also, someone has suggested that extended hubs are not available in aerobatic/counterweighted form. I want to confirm this with potential propellor suppliers, but the question above needs to be answered first, I think.
Any info or leads would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew
