My little PA-11-90 is a hybrid of all sorts of PA-18-95 parts and Atlee STCs.
My current prop works OK for float work. Sensch. 76Ak-2 x 40. IE 74 inches long with a 40 inch pitch.
BUT, while she will jump off the ground REAL fast on wheels. I can over-rev the engine on climb if I am not careful.
Plus my winter time cruising speed on wheels or skis is kinda slow. Actually I do the same cruise sped on floats as on 26 inch goodyears. Around 75mph to 80 if I push it 2500rpm and 65 to 70 at 2200 rpm.
So I am shopping for a cruise prop. Something so I can make it to Anchorage every now and then without having to make a latrine stop.
Any ideas out there and has anyone seen one for sale anywhere???
