  • Prop Hub Length Vs Engine Type

    With the engine swap underway I am trying to figure out what to do for a prop.

    Details: Lyc IO-360 & Bearhawk Factory Engine Mount Out
    Lyc IO-540 & Bearhawk Factory Engine Mount In

    Question: If I am using a Bearhawk Factory Engine mount for both engines will my Engine > Prop Mounting Flange be in the same place relative to the nose bowl for the sake of propeller/spinner installation?
    Bearhawk 4 Place
    IO-540
    MGL Odyssey Gen 2 EFIS
    ABW 29" Tires
    Appareo ESG ADSB-Out

    I think you'd be pretty lucky if they matched up perfectly, and the prop spinner is they key thing which determines the length of the cowl...
    But that might not be an issue, I seem to recall your machine had generous spinner-to-nosebowl clearance to begin with?
