Which feathering prop?
"Lauri Tarkkonen" wrote in message
... There is one question you should pay attention to: If your gearbox has not about the same reduction ratio of revs on both the forward and backwards gear, then you better to get an feathering prop that can be adjusted to different angle of attack of the blades on forward and reverse. I know J-prop does not have this, but only a few have. It is possible maxprop has. - Lauri Tarkkonen Max Prop has independent pitches forward and reverse - or, at least, my manual sez mine does...

The candidates a Martec Auto Stream , MaxProp, VariProp and Gori. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about any of them? Any others you would recommend I look at? Any reason Autoprop is not on your list? Price? I had a two bladed Gori, and think this is perhaps the best two bladed folding prop. But when I wanted to change to a three bladed feathering prop, I ended up with j-prop: http://www.bomon.com/jprop/. I have been very happy with the performance and here in Europe it is much cheaper than the competition. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
