Hey Andy,Just got the prop down from the wall I had made by Culver Props for an0-200. It is a 74/36. I think in my research of piets (or other draggyairframed planes) flying with 0-200s, 74 was the largest diameter I cameacross.Like I wrote before, there's only a couple of piets I could find flying with0200s here, and a few more in the UK, so it was a bit hard to come up withfirm evidence.If I remember correctly, during my talks with Gene at Culver, we went withthe 74 and he said he'd shorten it if it wouldn't turn up where we needed itto, but he thought this would work well. I'd say these numbers are prettyclose, he's a smart cookie when it comes to props. Builds a lot for WWIreproductions and quite a few piets over the decades.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: OT: RV for AirVenture
