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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Spinner cut is done, tomorrow is fasteners and fillits. Hopefully the DAR will call this week and get the airworthiness cert done too! 20260112_200121.jpg 20260112_200140.jpg

Static run gave me 2150rpm, target is 2300rpm.

All done that needs to be done for inspection! Hurry up and wait for a couple weeks. Time to get documentation together!
