Re: Q200 Prop

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

Re: Flight Report

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

Flight Report

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

Re: Q200 Prop

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

Re: Q200 Prop

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

Re: Q200 Prop

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)

Re: Q200 Prop

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

Re: Q200 Prop

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

Re: Q200 Prop

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

By Robert Schmid · #54728 ·

Re: Q200 Prop

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

Re: Q200 Prop

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

Re: Q200 Prop

Hi I have a prince P tip prop 60 x 80 was intended for a Q200 modified for 160 hp Lycoming type engine; was never mounted. It is available. I hope no one would over engine a Q that much but here is

Re: A Genuine THANK YOU

One day you'll attend a FOD and that is an experience. 🙂 Might be a good idea to plan to attend this one in the Autumn by flying in one of your other aircraft if you can, Robert. The Tandem Wing

Re: Q200 Prop

Sadly it is not. The current owner had not flown it in a couple years. I contacted him and asked if we could buy it back and he is considering. He is not ready to give it up yet. It is a nice one
