We've just installed my new WW 200RV prop, purchased via the group-buy here on VAF a few years ago.
That prop really is a beauty, a piece of art!
I noticed in the manual however, that the manual says it's non-aerobatic??
In my manual, marked REV 2009-1, page 2-3 it says: This 200RV propeller is a standard non-aerobatic hydraulic control propeller system
I must admit that I've not noticed this before, so shame on me, but is the 200RV really NOT suitable for doing acro with a RV?
The definition of acro in the airplane-world is when the bank goes above 60* and/or the pitch goes above 30*, but maybe the WW definition of acro is different one? Maybe "gentleman acro" (the one we can do in the RV's) is allowed? And "hard acro" (ala the typs the Extra's can do) is prohibited?
I'll contact WW regarding this matter ofourse, but this forum is normally so much quicker to provide info. (this made me VERY concerned.... yuk!)
So what's the verdict guys: have I screwed up BIG TIME and need to buy another prop, or is it something I've missed??
