I'm in the market to replace the propeller on my RV-3. I currently have a Sterba 68"x66". I sent it back to have ED re-pitch it to 62" and something got screwed up. It made it worse. Now the prop is just a tad too much prop / pitch for the 0-235, and the prop is 15 years old.
The 0-235-C-1 is rated at 108 HP @ 2600 RPM. Red line is 2,800 RPM so I would like to turn it faster. I currently get 1970 RPM on take off (2-300 FPM climb) and 2500 full throttle straight & level @ 163 MPH.
Anyway, I'm looking around for a new prop and thought I would ask the crew your opinions of bands, features, sizes, ect.
I've looked at Sensenich's new ground adjustable. I like the ability to adjust it to what I need.
I've looked at Prince. Interesting tip and "inflight flexing" like have a CS prop.
I'll check out Catto.
Any and all thoughts welcome and greatly appreciated.
