I was interested in the recent post that suggested a 72" prop is what is needed for the Rotax.  A 68" Woodcomp 3 blade was provided with my Skyshops FWF kit and when I switched to a Warp Drive I got a 68" also because I assumed that was the correct diameter or Skyshops wouldn't  have put it in the FWF kit.  How many people use a 72" prop with a 701?  I have the 912 UL 80hp engine, does that make a difference?  Is the 68" appropriate for the 80 hp and the 72" appropriate for the 100HP?  Am I missing out on some performance with a 68" prop?

 I have the Skyshops FWF and have the 100hp Rotax.  I also have the 68"  Woodcomp 3 blade prop.  I have it set at 14 degrees, that gives me 5450  static run up and 5500 on climb out.  WOT at level flight I have 5800 rpm  at 110 mph IAS, about 105 on the GPS.

I also was provided with the woodcomp 3 blade for  my 912 uls 100hp. I think you just need to dial in the appropriate pitch for  the hp.

 I'm very happy with the performance I'm getting and  haven't touched it since I set it up according to the instructions.

I have the Woodcomp on my 100 hp Rotax on the 701  and the Warp Drive on the 80 hp Rotax on my Kitfox.  All I can objectively  say is that both prop/engine combos work well, but there are enough difference  between the Kitfox and the 701 that to say anything more would be like comparing  apples with oranges.
