Hello Group,
I am looking into propeller/engine combinations for my RV8. At the moment the XIO-360-M1B (180 BHp) and the Hartzell C2YR-1BFP/F7497. 74” combination is high on my wanted list. Magnetos/electronic ignition to be decided - depending on restrictions that may apply and deciding on going the experimental ignition route or not.
Now I noticed the C2YR-1N/N7605-2. 74” dia. composite 2-blade on the Van's Hartzell order form. This might be a good prop when I want to save some weight up front - and maybe change to the angle valve XIO-360-A1B6 engine...![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I can't find any information on the Hartzell website about this prop and about any restrictions that may apply to the engine/prop combinations. Does some one out there has experience with the prop? And does anybody know where more information can be found? (I did send a message to Hartzell, no reply yet)
Edit: Here is a link to an article about the composite prop (article date is 05 March 2009):

The 2 bladed prop is 16 pounds lighter then it's aluminum counterpart.
Best regards,
Duncan
