Thanks Bill,
I have been running Biela props on my BME110's and have really liked the down line breaking that they give. I just hate to have to spend $150+ on a prop and then not like it! My plane is at 41#'s that 170 pulls it like it is only 30! I debated on the 150, but figured I can alway throttle back!
Thanks again.
Hey Guys... Just wanted to give a little input. I flew the DA170 with MTW mufflers for 1 year and 2 months with a 29x12N Mejzlik 3 blade prop on a 40.5 lb Yak 55sp. In July of this year (2009) I changed to a 30x12 two blade Mejzlik and can easily rip it...so I have to be careful on the horizontal. I recently changed to a KS 95 (version 5) mufflers and I instantly gained 240 rpm's over the MTW cans on the 30x12 prop. I could NOT believe it.
Now...like you Tom, I'm looking to change back to a 3 blade prop as the 2 blade prop is too "instantaneous" on the throttle. I would highly suggest to keep looking for the best 3 blade prop... I have not found it as yet.
