REFLECTOR: Prop for IO360

[jeff findarle]

Would you be interested in selling the 64x76 ? My airport is at 5200' elev. Sure wouldn't mind a climb prop. I am going to be doing a static test in a few weeks the prop that came on my plane. Bot it in March and have been going thru everything. It sat for 4.5 years. It had a 2 blade Demuth Prop, not sure of pitch or anything. I will do the Static test and determine if I can crank her up high enough to get off the ground up here.

What is your Field elev? How much real Estate does it take to get your bird off the ground using teh different props?
Thx, Jeff

I have two Catto fixed pitch props.  One is a newer design of his and its a 66x74, the other is an older design and is a 64x76.  I'm ashamed to say that I still can't really tell you the exact performance differences between them.  The 64x74 gives a higher static (~2300) than the 66x74 (~2100), so it gets me off the ground a bit quicker.  But at higher altitudes it seems to be able to give the same cruise speed because when I go LOP and lower power, it can still spin the prop at 2700RPM.  So, both props give ~175kts cruise at LOP (at 10,000').  Every weekend I tell myself I'm going to put each prop on and do a more comprehensive heads up comparison, but something always comes up.
