SB... 3 in one day? dang... at least give it a couple hours for us to show some interest ;)

I can not speak for the fine folks at bush wheel, but I can say that most people either don't bother or use one of these;...

1) They don't make a nickel LE for it. The SS one is better than aluminum for water erosion, and even small rocks. Get a piece of shale stuck in it and it will crack. Cracks that migrate chordwise...

Tougher is very subjective.
It takes water erosion better than a Mac because it has a stainless leading edge.
The bigger ones have nickel, I wish they offered these for the 180
It is a better...

pretty great huh !

Actually my experience has been that contrasting reports are the rule of the day when it comes to props :lol:
FWIW, if I were on floats (specially amphibs) like supechamp, I would probably do the...

Yes! Congratulations Frank!

I would only add that as hard as Frank practiced on it, I would have bet on him even if his cub was lead covered!
:up:cheers:up

I can only speak to my experience with them. But aircraft / powerplant wise we are very close ;)

I believe you will find that the trade off is that the 2 blade MT is not enough prop to make use of...

I totally get the added arm and danger to the attach points. That is one of the 'trade offs' I mentioned.

My cub is a long winged cub, and used to have droops, although the wood tip rib, and...

I too respect Nanook's opinion, and this very topic has come up several times. Generally it goes inflammatory as the passions rise, and then dies out...
I have now ran out two engines and two...

Hi Lars,

I *think* you know the cub pretty well. and I *think* it is all 6000 including the tapes. It is yellow, and I didn't mean for what I wrote to come across critical to either the product,...

We have a cub here covered in Oratex. So far the only things I see that I didn't care for is that it is pretty translucent, so a guy needs to take that into consideration when he paints the...

I could be wrong, but doubt you'll find a close tolerance bolt for the lower strut attach fitting.
my guess is that you will end up reaming the hole and welding in a bushing turned down from a piece...

Thanks for the reminder. I have heard this before, but have never tried it. As it is, I am on my way out the door and river bound. There is much sand, and it will be fresh in my memory to give it a...

Thanks Crash,

I have faith in your numbers. I suspect the trumped up / down weights I got were based on the 180 hp prop not the 'Borer', which brings it closer but still way short of the 30# mark....

Hi Norm,
Now that's a pretty solid way to know what works! I'll send you a PM
Thanks and take care, Rob

Hi John,

I guess I didn't qualify that by much. It is a fresh engine and will make the required static. What it won't do is wind up on the roll and take off as fast as I'd like. After all there...

Since MT has no desire to enter the fixed pitch market in cub sized props I have to ask;
Anybody here run a wood sensenitch on their cub any more?

The cub in question is a standard a/w cert, and...

neither... it is spelled out in part 137;

Sec. 137.49

Operations over other than congested areas.

Notwithstanding Part 91 of this chapter, during the actual dispensing operation,...

That is correct. The CEP's come like a mini earphone set similar to an Ipod or cell phone, but with foamies. You install a small receptacle on the outside of your helmet / headset, which you then...

What he said...

CEPs and ANR really shine at two different things... For sound attenuation NO headphone / helmet can match having the speaker IN your ear (like CEPs). But for noise reduction and...

Would work to get out of a bind, but the Ag / Caravan / etc.... Tires are 10 ply, vs 4ply for the ones the Seaplane and Bushwheel folks are selling. A wore out thrush tire weighs more than a brand...

BTW, even though the MT outperforms the C66, for my money / mission I would still take an 88" C66 over the 401. This is assuming the MT is not an option. I have no doubt if I was 135 or was an...

I had a C66 FA'd to my Pponk/180. It is a great combination.... I have also run the two and three blade MTs on mine. Considering the three blade MT weighs almost the same as a long bladed two blade...
