Superstol performance and handling - 130 hp

Well John,

Looks like you made the right choice again. And I made the wrong one. I have a Kiev prop ordered. Which given the current situation over there, and now the Russians moving in, having a Kiev prop on my airplane is looking like less and less of a reality everyday. UG!

Look me up when you get back stateside.

Hi Ben,

I will be flying directly over the center of Ukraine Thursday. Would offer to stop and pick it up for you but given the circumstances your out of luck.
I'll give you a shout in a few days after I get home and get settled down.

I just received my Kiev prop and spinner today! Hopefully it will work well.

If you are running the rotax you should seriously consider the new prop Catto is building for it. Local/home grown , I've heard really good things about it from John Levy on his STOL.

So where do I find John Levy's stol info about his catto?

I have one ordered by the way.

Thanks Steve,

Been also thinking of a fuel bladder for some of the long trips I will be doing - hence the reasons for fuel consumption and cruise numbers. If I go that way it is better for me to fit the (removable) bladder setup before the airworthiness certification.

Alaskan Bushwheel sells bladders that you can carry in the plane. you don't have to connect them to your AC fuel system, so you can remove them easily.

Thanks GDS,

Had a look, Gives me another option to consider, one method allows me a very long run between relief stops or with the SUperstol I guess you land, have cuppa, fill er up and get going. Big price difference!

I would recommend the bladders, especially now that they have incorporated my spout design which was the biggest issue with them. The original spouts leaked all over.
