Does anyone have any experience with the Sensenich Carbon Fiber ground adjustable prop used on a Jabiru 3300 in a 601XL?



Sensenich has a 10% off sale thru the end of April if you order direct from the factory so I'd like to take advantage of the list's collective wisdom to help make a purchase decision.

I spoke with the guru at Sensenich last year about this new 

product.  I believe it has just been made available to customers 

recently, so there is not much information floating around.  You 

might check with Pete at Jabiru since he was involved a little in the 

product development.



My understanding is you can get it from 60 to 62 inches and there 

might be an option to get a leading edge reinforcement installed at 

the factory.  My current plan is to order one in the 60 inch length 

since this should allow full 3300 rpm use on the Jabiru 

3300.   According to the guy at Sensenich the 62 inch length is 

designed for use to 3200 rpms.  (I hope my memory is good on this 

point, but I am sure you can confirm the facts with the authorities.)



Good luck,



Paul

Thanks.   I talked to Pete earlier today and he said that there were at least a couple of Zenith owners flying behind the new prop.   He had generally favorable comments about the prop when used with Jabiru aircraft and said that about half the Zenith folks buying Jab 3300's were opting for the new prop.



I was hoping there might be someone on the list who could share their first hand experiences.

Oops!  I forgot to mention some other info I got while talking with Sensenich - You might find their comments useful



"We have a 64" two blade propeller for the jabiru 3300 engine.

Propeller is rated at the same rating as the engine:  3300 intermittant,

2850 continuous.

In my opinion, the propeller is fine for 3000 continuous.

Now with the new economy tuning kit, most people with 3300 engines will stay below 2900 because fuel consumption rises by 2 gph at 3000 and above.  For the month of april, our composite aircraft propellers are available direct from the factory at 10% off.

$1525 retail - $1375 april special cost includes all mounting hardware for propeller. Normal finish is all white, red tips and flat back face. Alternate solid colors are: grey and black with white or red tips. Includes nickel leading edge.  Delivery usually runs 2-3 weeks."
