REFLECTOR: Ordered Propellar

[Scott Derrick]

Well, I'm excited!!!

Have been going over flight test numbers and engine specs with Catto the 
last couple of days.

We've decided on the parameters for my new prop for the TSIO520 I'm 
building and I sent off the deposit so I am now in line for a projected 3 
month delivery.

The prop will be a 66" x 105" and very beefy to handle up to 350 HP.

He has a guy flying an E-Racer with a TIO540 using one of his 66"x113" 
props, going 300 MPH at sea level!!  And he hasn't opened her all the way 
up yet! :-)

He's projecting a 225 KTAS at 16,000 ft, turning 2500 RPM, that should be 
about a 13 GPH fuel consumption.

I hope he's right!

BTW, Catto's prices are going up this Jan, so if you want this years prices 
you have to get a deposit in by end of Dec.
