No, It is a Tennessee prop that came with my project. If it is not the rightpitch I will probably try my hand at making one but that is down the road--------Jon Coxwell GN-1 BuilderRecycle and preserve the planetRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Prop for C-90?
Pietenpol-List: Prop for C-90?
Original Posted By: Kip and Beth Gardner
Those of you with a C-90... what prop are you using, what diameter, and what pitch?My C-90 will be equipped with the -788 camshaft, which supposedly provides thehighest torque to this engine.Any info will be appreciated.--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

You could get a prop from an O-200 powered Cessna 150. It would give you a goodbenchmark to start from and they are probably available at a reasonable price.You could maybe borrow a spare from a flight school or someone who has theirengine out for overhaul. You'd then know which way you wanted to go in termsof pitch/length at very little outlay of cash.DaveRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Call Cloudcar Props. He is very good at what he does. Others on the list flyhis prop and have nothing but good to say about them.. He is good at matchingup the Plane, engine and prop for best performance. Someone on the list should have his number.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
