 Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 8:03 pm Post subject: Prop for a Jabiru engine |
 |
|
Hi all, I'm about to buy a 2200 Jabiru for my Avid Mk IV and am just
wondering what people with that engine on their Kitfox are useing for a
prop. The planes are so much alike, what works on one should probably work
on the other. Thanks, Jim Chuk Avid MK IV Chisholm Mn

Hello Jim, I have a Jabiru 60" by 38" prop on my Jabiru 2200. Why? Because I don't know anything about prop and engines and when I asked my Jabiru dealer he recommended me that one. Of course, it is a wood prop and I have to be careful when it rains. I don't fly much when it rains, anyway, but if caught in a drizzle, keep the RPM under 2 500 and it should be fine. After 230 hours, the prop is still in a near pristine condition. For my Kitfox 3, the prop pitch is maybe a tad too coarse; no great climb performance but an economical cruise RPM. Not a problem for me since I fly from a long asphalt runway.
Cheers,
Michel Verheughe

When I ordered my engine, I told Pete which model plane it was for,
and I was sent a Sensenich W62HJ46....so it's a Wooden 62" dia x 46"
pitch...the H and the J are H=load factor (or something like that)
and the J is for the Jabiru bolt pattern.

And like Michel's experience, my prop is not a great climb performer,
but does the cross-country thing well, and handled recent high
density altitudes out west just fine.
