        • There are not many LSA's flying in the USA. I suspect performance will be spectacular!!

          For those who don't know, Propman is a retired professional Prop Fabricator. Your Prop looks longer than most to me (I could be mistaken, often am.) I'm curious what performance aspect you designed the prop to achieve. I also am curious to hear about your engine & how the package performs.

            • Excellant! Always thought the LSA would be a really fun airplane. Would love to have one to go along with my 4-place if I could afford to.

                Several years ago I sent a prop to Bob and he tested it on his LSA. With that data I designed this one for cruise performance, im sure it'll do well in climb also. It's 76" diameter with 44" of pitch. My calculations say I should see 1200-1500 fpm climb at gross with a WOT around 125-130 mph @ 2700 RPM. The engine is from Bob built by Mike. Hopefully over the next month I can do the Task Based flight testing and share results with everyone.

                  Awesome! That design needs desperately more completions to boost its image. It may be the best kept secret in the utility EAB arena.

                  I agree, low cost of operation, good useful load 1500lbs designedgross wt, and fantastic short field capabilities.

              • Congratulations! Like the others, I'm looking forward to hearing about your flights.
