REFLECTOR: Ordered Propeller

[Alex Balic]

Scott,
Please keep us informed on your progress with that prop- I will be next in
line to order in about the time you receive yours- I have one of Craig's
props for use on a 200 to figure out what I will need, but with 350 hp
available I don't think it will give much useful info, so I will rely on
your experience.

Alex

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.
