I looked at the Sensenich web site and can not find the difference between the 64ZK56 and 64FK56 props.  I didn't ask Sensenich because they would probably get too technical right away - not to mention the legal issues of explaining something in plain language.  Can someone 'splain it to me?  Little words and pictures are good.

Scotty,

     Well, you can reference this:  

http://www.sensenichprop.com/sen_html/tcds-p170-r29.pdf (go to the very 

bottom of the document) but basically the "W" would denote a wood prop.  The 

"64" is for a 64 inch diameter length.  The "ZK" or "FK" are different blade 

profiles.  They look different when you look at them, but they're more than 

likely designed for a certain horsepower and RPM range and different speed 

ranges.  (just my own guess)  The "56" is the corresponding pitch in INCHES. 

  I have no idea how you take that and make it into a blade angle, but I 

suppose that they have it down.  Hope this answers your question.  Brian W.

Generally the two dimensions of the prop make up the diameter and pitch.



64" in diameter and 56" of pitch.  The "FK" is the blade profile; I think

"FK" is a scimitar type of blade.



I believe the pitch is the angle of the blade set to move (x) amount in

space in one revolution.  For example, a 56" pitch prop would theoretically

move from a start point, 56" forward in one turn.



I may be missing something, but that is what I have understood.



Jim!

Thanks.  



I saw the diameter and pitch things listed, but the letters threw me off.  I guess I just wanted a picture of the two types of prop.  Scimitars are prettier, to me, but 56 inches of pitch is 56 inches of pitch, and then we get into price.
