Question:
After installing the 14-13-2 150 h.p. sensenich wooden prop showing on the TC on my 1947 165 h.p. CRUISAIR, and after trying it and with very happy result, I will have to get LSTC (limited STC).
TC call for aeromatic or other constant speed prop only for this engine. I went with my budget and my fear of complications and tendencies of wear happening or any device with moving parts. I like it simple.
Is there anybody out there that has the same installation ( I know there is one but can't find it on the net anymore!!!) and some paperwork done that could just help me showing my engineer that there is precedent?
It would help accelerate the process with our authorities.
Prop is W74RR66
Here just for info
I was cruising 160 m.p.h. at 2700 r.p.m. (Couldn,t red line at 2800!)
I was quite suprised. So at 2500 it gives me a nice high 145-148 at about 45 deg. F at 1500 feet. Airspeed confirmed with GPS.
Of course the climb is really not a rocket but acceptable. I will have to be carefull for weight on shorter field in the summer heat but I,ll see. It's way ahead of a 60 K$ cherokee and I'm happy with that.
Bellancas are the best, the hell with the rest :twisted:
