 |

Seeing all this discussion about the size of prop allowable on Mono's
prompts me to ask if anyone knows
what the largest prop for the Tri is 62".... 64"....66"?? given the
different static angles on the ground etc
thanks

At least 70" if you make the necessary mod to the nose gear . I had a new
spindle machined out of the same material as the original, which is 50mm
longer. It increases the nose-up attitude on the ground by 1.6 degrees, and
there is no noticable change in handling.

Karl,
See article in Sept 07 Sport Aviation (pp 110) for the downside of this!

Duncan,
You had me worried for a minute. Are you referring to the article 'Range of
Pitch' and lack of traction in a crosswind takeoff ? I am not sure I
understand that one. I can keep the aircraft on the ground as long as I like
by pushing the stick forward, and I have to do that on a bumpy grass strip
on landing, otherwise the steel spring suspension propels me back in the
air.
Very recently I made a takeoff in a 40 knot 90 degree crosswind without too
much bother. The landing, though, was something else.

My trigear has a 66" prop and no mod of the nose gear without any noticeable problem
