Re: Are You Ready?
Gary,
After seeing the picture of your Highlander here, it looks like you might be running a Sensenich prop? Or is it a Whirlwind? What diameter? Do you like it?
I have a 3 blade Sensenich 69-70 inch for mine but haven't tried it yet, and really like my 2 blade 70 inch Sensenich, so debating if it would gain me anything?

Hey Paul,
It's a Whirlwind 70". Really nice prop with the nickel edge guard. So far after 30 hours with 100 plus water take off and landings I don't see any wear on the prop.. I cruise at 5250 RPM, 95MPH with the floats on. Top speed is around 108 with the floats and 114 without.Triangle GPS course I've done several times.

Re: Are You Ready?
That's pretty impressive top speeds. Obviously that prop works well. Guess I'm gonna have to try my Sensenich 3 blade (which for the record looks pretty much identical to the Whirlwind when put next to each other)
