While I was fueling my airplane from my fuel trailer the head FAA engineer asked what I was putting in the airplane. Jon the Sensenich engineer said he hoped it was fuel to which the engineer asked where it was coming from. Jon pointed at the tank and told him from there. I should have told him I was topping off the helium in my wings.I’d leave the W/B for 800s on permanent display next to the airworthiness. Highlight the final weight and hide the 800 part
:smile: Ha! You're learning lots about FAA engineers which the average aviation population never sees or knows. 8)While I was fueling my airplane from my fuel trailer the head FAA engineer asked what I was putting in the airplane.

Mine arrived early this week, be happy to make you a deal on a lightly used 43 pitch Borer.

Based on your comment above I am wondering about the setup on my yet to fly Bearhawk. 82” with STOL blades on a 200hp O-360. My plan was to use #4 for everyday use, but I am not wondering is pins 2, 3 and possibly 4 are useless for me. I will be 1200-1225#’s
Thoughts?
Write a book? Bet it would be some good reading!There is a lot I can't post on a public forum. 8)
First (brief) flight, yesterday evening following installation (Field Approval). Install was straightforward for my A&P (but since they forgot to send the spinner, he'll get some more practice) set up with #3 pitch pin on my 160hp. Not scientific but half fuel easily saw 1250 fpm climb at 82 degrees at 70 mph indicated with low altitude cruise speeds in the upper 90's to 100 but there was some wind aloft and again nothing scientific. Super smooth, spools up really quick, first thing I noted on start-up was I had to keep my heels on the brakes, because this prop wants to GO!
You're welcome to come fly it for yourself.Best left to what ethnographers call "the oral tradition", especially around campfires at Johnson Crick. Maybe Pierce needs an official Liars Bench in front of his hangar
Thanks. cubscout

If you have to ask you can’t afford it! (I had to ask by the way);-)Has a price been determined for this prop? Are there different model props for O-320’s and O-360’s?
