I have to do the same with those smaller tires, Sam. The brass innertube valve stem is at the wrong angle for the aluminum wheels we have. I thought is was just me.😬 The simplest way to deal with the

This was my Beautiful 60/66 Warnke. It had no carbon on the back. Maybe that’s why it cracked. Jim N46JP - Q200 Sent from Outer Space

Q200 Prop
Jay it was about 10” from the center of the hub on the front “meaty” part of the prop and had propagated across the grain so to speak. Jim N46JP - Q200

Q200 Prop
Long read. Sorry for the confusion. When I was referring length and pitch of props for standard and pumped up 0200’s on a Q, I was using Bernie Warnke "Almost Constant Speed" and Craig Catto props for

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 m

Q200 Prop
Robert, A 100 hp continental engine on a Q is optimized with a 60/70 Cato. The 118-120 hp continental version on a Q likes a 60/72 prop to absorb the additional power. Jim N45JP -Q200

Q200 Prop
Hi Corbin, You may have the gray Catto prop Mark Summers put on it with the larger 4” hub (tapered front hub). . If it's that one, I think it's a 60/70. What is the max RPM you can get from the engine

O-200 Exhaust ... Straight pipes or cross?
Forgot to mention, I have no secondary support holding my exhaust. It’s held on only by the springs. Jim N46JP Q200

Some Builders pupu’d the steel 4:1 exhaust but after 22 years and 1875 hours of “exhaustive testing” I can tell you it WORKS. I don’t know about the power pulses or the drag or the potential power los

Thanks for all the nice comments re: the AV30 install. Yes Jon, it’s pegged on the fun meter. 😊. I’m now looking for a black plastic plug to fill that fun meter hole. Jim N46JP

I've flown with a steel 4 into 1 exhaust for 22 years. I had the inside and outside coated with "Jet Hot" a couple times. No cracks. It works for me. Jim N46JP Q200
