Jeff,



As you have a 912ULS and Sensenich, perhaps you can answer my dumb  

question.

Took the Warp Drive off yesterday and went to install the Sensenich.		

The Warp Drive hub is machined to fit the lip on the engine prop  

flange, the Sensenich has a flat face on the rear of the hub.

Seems like I now need a spacer and longer bolts and longer drive  

bushings - how is your prop set up?.

I can't get hold of Charley till tomorrow , needless to say this  

weekend's weather would have been great for flying

HI Dave,

It's been a while but I remember using the spacer from my old prop. I  

believe I had to re-drill it? Yes I had new drive bushings to cover  

the depth of the spacer, and yes I needed longer bolts that I got from  

ACS or Lookwood. Like you I made the change when I wanted to fly and  

didn't realize the new prop needed the spacer till it was off. Don't  

worry the prop in my opinion was worth the wait. I have mine set  

closer to a cruse setting but still get an easy 1000 FPM at solo full  

tanks, and 130KTS is the norm at 5200 RPM. I usually fly at 120 and  

save the gas.

Best Regards,



Jeff R.  N128LJ Gold Rush

Thanks Jeff,

I knew that I should not have ordered the new spinner till I had the  

prop...... , will have to go back to UHS spinners and see if they  

will be kind to me.

I have a spacer which can be drilled for the centre hole, if  

Sensenich can't supply one.

In the meantime I've spent the day watching Katanas from the local  

flying school cruise above me while I work around the yard.
