I may be able to purchase an MT 3 blade propeller MTV-7-C with Blades 187-129. This is an electrically controled propeller.
I want to use it on an RV-4 with an O-320 Lycoming engine (no hollow crank for hyd prop). Apparently it came off an Eggenfeller engine but I've been assured that it turns the correct way for a Lycoming. Can anyone tell me anything about this propeller model I've described above. Do you know if it will work on an RV-4? or the Lycoming engine? Can anyone tell me what the model numbers mean? Any other help would be appreciated - such as if you know what cowl modifications (if any) will be needed.
Further I believe it has a 13" spinner and I think my spinner is a 12". My cowl is one of the earlier models which is fairly tight. My guess is that some modifications will be needed to accomodate the bracket that holds the brushes that contact the electrical conductor plate at the back of the prop. Apparently the bracket needs to be mounted to the engine somewhere and somehow reach around the flywheel and up to this disk. Like I say, any help will be appreciated.
