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.
