I have a new Cato prop, spinner and extender, still wrapped in the factory
plastic. It is however for an IO-540. I don't know if it will work on the
360.

The rotary is running well...but I think you nailed it when you said "it's
just more trouble than it is worth".  I feel as if I kept taking two steps
forward, but three steps back.  I turn 53  on May 8th....I would hope to fly
more than six hours in 18 months restricted to orbiting the airport, before
I get too old and/or lose my medical. I still like the rotary.  I have much
time and money in it and now a pretty solid understanding, but at some point
(unlike Washington) you need to stop throwing money and effort at a
problem....especially when there may be better options. 

 

My plane has been in the same level of primer with a very incomplete
interior for years now.  Not having to continually focus on the engine
development may actually allow me to move forward and make the plane as
pretty as it deserves to be. 

 

I may have a line on a pre-owned but never used pusher MT prop too.  We will
see. I may just be choosing another set of problems......

So did the Mazda die, PSRU give up or was it more trouble than it is worth?

I purchased a Continental 360. It is being overhauled.

The prop I was thinking I could use is not going to work, so, while I try to
save for a nice MT, does anyone have an appropriate prop that they care to
part with that would work for a Velocity SE?

 

I know more info is needed but wanting to put out feelers to see what may be
sitting in the back of someone's hangar before I go have one made.

Thanks.

P.S. I will be cross posting this so forgive the redundancy as many of us
are on the same lists.
