I thought that might get a response!

Heeeyyyyy! I resemble that remark!! 😅

Jay, Now you made my head hurt!!! But that is great info. -----------------------------------------

To illustrate just how complicated fixed-pitch wooden propeller performance can be, even on a simple flight, here is a plot of TAS (kts) vs. RPM for my plane for one leg of a cross country flight from

Michael makes an excellent point about comparisons between props. There is much, much more to props than just the diameter and pitch.

Jay you are so correct. I fly my Q weekly and have never stopped enjoying my ride. Jim N46JP -,Q200 From: main@Q-List.groups.io <main@Q-List.groups.io> on behalf of Jay Scheevel <jay@...> Sent:

Great report Jay. I have had that exact feeling many times. It always makes me wonder "why doesn't everyone fly?". Doing it in a vehicle that you built yourself just makes it all the better. I've

Hi All, Nothing special to report, but I took a nice flight this morning and fiddled with a lot of things in the cockpit while I enjoyed the vacant skies near here. I landed and emerged from the

You may need about 6000 feet of runway to get it off the ground!!! I don’t think you would get anywhere close to 2900 with an 80 pitch prop unless you cut a few inches off the tips!! Just

The only thing I would add is that direct pitch comparisons are only really useful among propellers from the same manufacturer, with the same style, and designed for the same type airplane, for the

FWIW, I concur with Jay’s analysis and explanation here. David J. Gall

Ryan, What engine are you installing? Cheers, Jay

Thanks, I'll wait for a fitting prop, unless my lack of patience gets the better of me and I'll go for a new Catto one, at the ideal size. Thanks Robert -- Robert "TheFrisco" Schmid (408)

This is pretty simple. A standard 0200 uses a 2 blade 60/66 to 60/70 prop for best performance . A pumped up 0200 uses a 2 blade 60/72 to absorb the added HP, which leaves about 9" of clearance with

Hi Robert, That prop would work, but your plane will go slower, albeit cruising with much better fuel efficiency. The bigger problem is that your static RPM will be much lower than it really

Wow that was a terrible spell error on my part ... I meant to say Prince recommends a 58/70 prop. So back to my original question ... the 60/80 prop won't work for the 100hp, correct? -- Robert

What I sent you from Prince indicated that 70 pitch is what they recommend. This is more in line with most of the Q200’s that have flown regularly and for the long haul. Cheers, Jay

Given Prince recommends for a 100hp Q-200 a 85/72 prop, would this one be way too big? -- Robert "TheFrisco" Schmid (408) 805-5450 www.facebook.com/TheFlyingFriscos www.theflyingfriscos.com Love
