I've been deliberating for a while on whether to have my original O235-C overhauled, or to go for an O320 STC mod. The decision was kind of made for me when I found and bought a zero timed O235-C2C The advantage of course being that this is basically a plug and play upgrade and will be going in as an LAA (Experimental category in the USA) modification. The question now is which propeller to use, the C2C has the Type 1 hub which allows either an SAE type 1 or 2 propeller to be used. I already have a Sensenich M76A-M2 propeller (currently called 76A-M6-2) which is a type 2 hub/flange.
Looking at the Sensenich guide both the 100hp -C and the 108hp -C1 use the same propeller, with different pitch settings and my propeller from the -C would therefore be a climb prop on a C1.
Has anyone fitted a C2C to a PA-12 and which propeller did you use if yes?
On a second question thread, the C2C produces a theoretical 115hp at 2800, the same as the C1 and 100hp at 2400, again the same as the C1 and as the C2C is described as "Similar to a C1 but with Slick Magnetos" "I'm therefore deducing from the C1 specific power curve in the Lycoming Operator's Manual, it will be producing 108hp at 2600, the same as the C1, can anyone confirm this please?
