I'm looking around for a wood or metal tractor type prop for my winter Piete project,using a Lycosaur 0-235. Anybody who hasn't converted their dreams intoa lovely clock, contact me off line.Thanks-Gordon Bowen________________________________________________________________________________

Hi GordonThat power plant is that not a Lycoming 0-235, if it is e-mail me offline as I also have one installed we can swap notes. I am running a 74"dia by 44" pitch, on my next prop I am going for is a 76" dia by 42"prop. With my prop I get 2300 rpm static, with the GSC I ran I also got2300RPM static and cruised at 85mph indicted at 2300rpm,The prop did not seem to unload enough, you should try to get 2400static.Cheers Norman StapelbergSouth Africa-----Original Message-----

Norman,Thanks for email. I'm really attempting to use a Lycosaurus O-235, this engineis an original pre WWII from Lycoming. 100 HP. I'm going to forward to youan email I got from Jay Anderson in Texas that builds props. He also recommends76" with 42-44 pitch.Gordon ----- Original Message -----
