Hey DTB have you tried a 16x4 on your 91? I have a couple of APC 16x4w's but they're too skinny. I need a thicker washer or a tru turn I guess. The 15x6 pulls like a tractor so I haven't bothered. Are they worth the effort?
Did that weekend rain/ice hit you guys too hard? I'm hoping the lake in my front yard will dry up by mid summer
trailingedge, I have not tried the 16x4w prop yet, but I plan on trying a 16x4. They are too skinny? Doesn't have the pulling power that you would think it should have? I am using the APC 15x6, but thought about also trying the APC 15x8 also. I am spinning the APC 15x6 around 10,200 RPM and need to get it down to around 9300 atleast. I have a MAS 15x8 that would spin at 8900 when the motor was not fully broken in, but I think it should be able to handle the prop better now. I'll have to try a normal APC 16x4 and a APC 15x8. It rained most of the day Friday and all day on Saturday down here in Jackson, but we did not get any ice which was a blessing. I flew today after work in a little gusty wind but it was fun, but still too cold on my hands. The field is still too wet for my taste.
When it warms up you should plan a trip to come to one of our fly-ins. Here is our club's web site (needs updating still).
