So the local guys decided we are going to hold a race, and of course I plan on attending:
http://rvproject.com/race.html
The problem is that the course is highly taylored for c/s props and not f/p cruise props. (includes climbout and terrain to over 5k then descent with mandatory full fuel).
There are some FAST RV's in the line-up and I am the ONLY one with a f/p prop. Without my wastegate flapper, I can't compensate with extra boost so my best chance to be competitive this year is to find a faster prop.
My prop is a 3-blade 64x78. I would be better off with a slightly longer 2-blade 74-78" pitch with about 76" pitch being perfect. Does anyone in the southwest have such a left turning prop and spinner t
hat he would be willing to lend out for the race?
I may work on getting mine re-pitched.... its too late to re-install the flapper valve, that will have to wait until next year. :-)
