Propellers
What prop are Highlanders that fly using?
I am waiting on a Kiev, but may switch to a warp drive

Dave,
I'm using a Warp Drive, three blade, 70" blade length, with the aluminum hub and fiberglass spinner. I forget the exact size spinner. I have always gotten excellent results from this propeller and I like the way it looks, too. I bought mine at S&F this year, about $600 total.
Alan, N1010Z, 84 hours and still no problems.

If I had known I would live this long I would have taken better care of myself.

Yesterday the UPS man brought me the propeller. I could not believe it made it so fast. 5 days including a weekend. That is great service. The Warp Drive propeller is a nice looking set up. I chose the small polished aluminum spinner.
Now I am ready to try the propeller on the rotax. I have not done that so am unsure what I am doing, there are directions.
Rotax 912s, any suggestions for the degrees of pitch? I recall someone saying 12.

I asked the company rep @ S&F about the pitch with the 100 hp Rotax and he told me
13 degrees. I tried that first, but it wouldn't let the engine rev to redline straight and level.
I then reset to 12 degrees and all is well.
See my spec list elsewhere.
