Craig,

Lyc 320's have no restriction on how long you can run your engine at
takeoff power.  I ran the Air Venture Cup races at WOT, 2680 RPM (it  felt
good
there) and 2000-3000 MSL for the Dayton to Finish Line leg -  just a bit over
2 hours.  Uh, you will need adequate fuel flow for  that.

Hi Randy,
Your very funny.  You have quite a  collection too that may be slowing you
down.  Maybe we should be  requesting that they start making the trophies
out of aluminum.
That 3 blade scimitar  MT is a sexy  looking prop.  I was hoping that I
would hear everyone come back that  they were faster with it.  Love the quiet
and smooth but got to have that  speed baby.  Tonight I did a test run with
some minor tweaks and it ran  212 kts at 3000 ft.  Std day. 2550 and WOT.
Guess I am going to  need rocket pods to do much better.

I have only run the MT 3 blade. I too love this  propeller. Very smooth and
light. On my IO320 the prop weight is  only 37 lbs. Please don't ask how I
know this but it is a wood  core, combination of spruce and a highly
compressed beachwood If I  recall what the factory told me, with a fiberglass
shell
and  stainless leading edge for protection from moisture ect..
Wood  also is flexible and has natural dampening properties. It is the
only propeller I have run on the airplane but it is fast. Even  with my
Legacy
style tips (25' wing) I am also running the larger  legacy tail (MKII) and a
completely stock IO320 ( injected/ Elec  IG) and I can get to 198-200 KTS
TAS at 8000.
I would love to  try other propellers but that is too much of a hassle for
me. I am  happy with the set up and would definetaly buy another  one..
Craig, If I recall, weren't you at about 210 KTS with  your current set up?
Leave the OSH GC trophy home and the  weight savings alone will get you
another 5  KTS...

FWIW...

Craig,

I love my _http://www.aerocomposites.com/_ (http://www.aerocomposites.com/)
prop. I have over  600 hours on the prop, including an overspeed to 3,400
rpm (not  the props fault), and the prop doesn't even have 1 scratch on the
leading edge. I have seen Hartzel's that looked like they needed  an
overhaul at 200 hrs on PA-180's.

Aero Composites uses a  nickel leading edge. No inspection required for the
overspeed  according to Aero Composites.
