I am preparing to float a Cessna 140A with a Continental O-200A 100hp. It is currently turning a metal 69x52 pitch prop.
I know some variants of the PA-11 came with a Cont. O-200 engine and, while the Cessna 140A wing design has nowhere near the performance of the Cub design, I thought someone here could provide useful advice.
I have read up on the issue at the Cessna 120/140 website, but I would like to hear from you guys, too.
So, would anyone like to share their opinions on what the best propellor options are for flatland Midwestern seaplane operations. My first choice would be for a lightweight, composite, electric-controlled, constant speed prop.
Any ideas?
