Hi all,



I've seen a prop extension used on the Kolb with the warp drive prop on the 912, I think I saw a video of the factory MKIII with an extension used.



There's a possibility I may put a warp drive on my plane (which also uses the 912ULS in pusher config) and I'd need an extension - is this a Kolb part or is it aftermarket? 



Just curious, 



thanks,

LS

You can buy the prop extension directly from Warp Drive, I bought my 4 inch prop extension from Warp drive when I bought my prop.  Its very strong and well designed.  Talk to Daryl and he will fix you up the extension, bolts, and everything you need !

The other well know option is an extension from Saber Manufacturing.

Lucien –  

   

As Scott “icrashrc” suggested, Travis at Kolb recommended I go to Sabre Mfg (Granbury, TX) for a prop extension for my 912.  I purchased a 3-inch extension for my Powerfin for $320 in March, 07.  CNC machined from billet aluminum, it’s practically a work of art.  I have been totally pleased with it, since I installed it.  Noticeable decrease in cabin noise, in flight.  

   

I suspect the type of prop you have does not matter.  What is important is you tell them it’s for a 912.  It’s the 912’s prop flange and hole spacing that dictates the design of the prop extension.  Good luck!

Ok thanks all.

A warp drive is currently plan B. I'm doing plan A first tho. The electric pitch adjust in my IVO has gone intermittant which makes pitch adjustment, er, kind of impossible to say the least .



So I'm putting the ground adjust backplate on it rather than try to figure out what's gone wrong with the electric stuff. It wasn't really that lovely to me when it did work, so...



It's always been a reasonably OK prop, but I keep remembering how well my warp drive worked on my FSII. So I may end up splurging on a warp drive for this plane too (plus or minus the ol' tax return that is)....
