I've recently exchanged a number of emails with Sensenich regarding their new ground adjustable prop.
They said that by SnF they hope to announce a version for the O-320, which will work with my O-290-D2. After that they will upsize it for the O-360.
This is a new style ground adjustable prop where you replace a "plug" which sets the blade angle. It does not rely on clamping force to hold the blades in place, like some old ground adjustable props do.
You want a climb prop, change the plug. You are taking a long trip, change the plug. The change is supposed to be easy to do.
The best part is it will use composite blades and will weigh in at 15 lbs max.
They are designing them with RV's in mind, so they should make a "plug" that will work with our fast planes.
What are your thoughts on this prop?
I'm thinking of replacing my Catto with one because Craig cut me a climb prop when I wanted a cruise prop and now wants me to buy a new one from him as he can't change the pitch.
Also, it will let me dial in the proper pitch for my engine/airframe combination rather than hoping Catto gets it right a second time.
Cost will probably be between $2,500 and $3,000.
Let's not turn this into a CS vs FP discussion, there are already enough threads on that topic. Just looking for info on GA Props.
